About this audiobook

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.

Anthony is truly missed. Listening to his quick witted, foul mouthed, completely honest opinions about his life, hilarious experiences & his thoughts as he's narrating his own book just really reminds me how genuine & open he was & i really wish someone could have seen what he was going thru and maybe helped him. I have learned alot thru out the years watching his shows!💙

Can't get better than 8 hours of Bourdain narrating his own book. Always entertaining, and with a good bunch of legitimately laugh-out-loud metaphors and anecdotes.
