Medium Raw reads like a great meal: it opens with a tantalizing cocktail of a chapter that helps you remember why you wanted to read Bourdain’s book in the first place- because it is decadent. Because it is exotic. Because it is delicious.
Anthony Bourdain’s follow up to 2001’s acclaimed Kitchen Confidential is a joy to read for food and travel lovers alike. Bourdain’s conversational and oft vulgar writing style draws you in easily; one minute you’re reading on your couch, the next you are on a culinary expedition through Thailand and Beirut. Bourdain addresses many topics currently in the foodie zeitgeist- the inside dish on “Top Chef,” current heavy weights in modern cooking, and what chefs really think about food bloggers- as well as thoughts on raising children in a world where fast food is king, and what it means to be (in his words) “a sell out.”
Bourdain’s intimate and hilarious new work ends on a sweet note, leaving the reader satisfied with the meal and ultimately craving seconds.
Anthony Bourdain will be appearing at Florida State University’s 7 Days of Opening Nights festival on Wednesday, February 16th at 8:00pm. For more information, visit their website at: http://www.sevendaysfestival.org/bourdain
