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.

The star of the TV food and travel show "No Reservations" is passionate about many delectable topics. As the narrator of his own work, Bourdain's enthusiasm is profoundly authentic. His performance demonstrates the joy of sharing his wit and insights on the ethics of the restaurant and food industry, chef and food writer heroes and villains, fatherhood, modern gastronomic revolutionaries, the Food Network, and delightful and awful cookery. Vivid descriptions of cherished meals and ingredients are delivered with Bourdain's signature comic tone. The king of cynicism, Bourdain traces his emergence from the depths of kitchen drudgery and addiction to the world of the globe-traveling professional television host. With his eloquent writing and expressive narration, he cooks up delicious storytelling. A.W. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
