About this ebook
Medium Raw marks the return of the inimitable Anthony Bourdain, author of the blockbuster bestseller Kitchen Confidential and three-time Emmy Award-nominated host of No Reservations on TV’s Travel Channel. Bourdain calls his book, “A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook,” and he is at his entertaining best as he takes aim at some of the biggest names in the foodie world, including David Chang, Alice Waters, the Top Chef winners and losers, and many more. If Hunter S. Thompson had written a book about the restaurant business, it could have been Medium Raw.

Kitchen Confidential is a classic that was able to transcend the culture of cooking and food to speak to a general audience. Maybe it's not fair to compare, but Medium Raw is more for those in the in industry, and while a good read, is not destined to be in the same category...entertaining and very funny in some parts. I recommend it.

I love Tony's unapologetic attitude, this book however is full of apologies. I guess we all get nicer as we get older, but I like the angry stories to stay angry. The person does not need to and I am glad he is happier, but the old stories are great... Let them be great and full as read in their time.

I bought this in audio, its the worst. No inflection in his voice at all, he read it in such a monotone fashion I could not make it through the first chapter,.
