For years my family and I have been huge fans of Anthony Bourdain. We have watched every episode of a Cook's Tour and No Reservations, and even have it on our instant play when we feel the urge for some snarky banter. Our addiction all started with a book called, Kitchen Confidential, you may have heard of it.
Kitchen Confidential hurled Bourdain from chef to writer/tv personality. Nasty Bits is everything that didn't make it into No Reservations as well as some background on what has happened since he became a celebrity. His voice is unmistakable in his writing, you can actually hear his voice while you read it. Nasty Bits also contains an addendum to perviously written works, which lend a little more clarity to what we already know.
Medium Raw is Bourdain's newest book, and it does not fail to please. He explains why he loves some chefs and can't stand others. He has even changed his view on Rocco and Emeril. Bourdain also explains how his life has changed since his daughter and all the traveling.
If you love Bourdain you have to read these books and gain greater insight into the man we love to watch eat God knows what in places we would all love to see.
