About this book

Medium Raw: A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and People Who Cook is a follow-up to Bourdain’s 2000 breakthrough best-seller Kitchen Confidential. It addresses Bourdain’s rise to stardom and television celebrity, and also looks at the way the culture around food and chefs has changed in the years between Bourdain’s days as a behind-the-scenes cook, and his on-the-screen life eating and drinking around the world. The book is filled with asides that take on many big names in the culinary world, along with other rants, confessions and investigations.

From the publisher

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.
