 No Reservations: Around the World on an Empty Stomach (2007)“Bourdain is one of the country’s best food writers…His opinions are as strong as his language, and his tastes as infectious as his joy.”(New York Times Book Review)
|
 Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly (updated ed: 2007)"Bourdain pulls no punches in this memoir of his years in the restaurant business. His fast-lane personality and glee in recounting sophomoric kitchen pranks might be unbearable were it not for two things: Bourdain is as unsparingly acerbic with himself as he is with others, and he exhibits a sincere and profound love of good food." (Reed Business Information)
|
 The Nasty Bits: Collected Varietal Cuts, Usable Trim, Scraps and Bone (2006)"Bourdain writes as he talks--irreverently, earthily, and determinedly free of euphemism. The reader can almost hear him dragging on his cigarette between sentences." (Mark Knoblauch, ALA)
|
 Anthony Bourdain's "Les Halles" Cookbook (2004)"Even though many of the dishes can be found in other cookbooks, what sets this one apart is Bourdain's signature wise-ass attitude that pervades nearly every recipe, explanatory note and chapter introduction. Profanity adds frequent color..." (Reed Business Information)
|
 A Cook's Tour: In Search of the Perfect Meal (2001)"You are unlikely to lay your hands on a more hectically, strenuously entertaining book for some time. Our hero eats and swashbuckles round the globe with perfect-pitch attitude and liberal use of judiciously placed profanities." (Robin Davison, Amazon.co.uk)
|
 Typhoid Mary: An Urban Historical Read the publisher's review. Talk about it. |
 Don't Try This at Home: Culinary Catastrophes from the World's Greatest Chefs (2005)From Bloomsbury, the publisher: "In this raucous new anthology, thirty of the world's greatest chefs relate outrageous true tales from their kitchens." Review Anthony's essay! |

 Gone Bamboo(2002) Talk about 'Gone Bamboo.' |
 Bone in the Throat (1995)"First-time author Bourdain presents a savory portion of gangster tartare spiced with salty mobspeak, coked-up chefs, wild entrepreneurs and foul-mouthed feds, served up in the colorful ambience of Manhattan's Little Italy..." (Reed Business Information)

Hasn't anyone else gotten it yet? Oh, my gosh! It's incredible! The photography in absolutely wonderful, and the "travel guide" is incredible! Who needs Fodor's, The Lonely Planet, etc.? We've got Bourdain! Thank you, Tony! Can't wait for more!
