Both intriguing. But it was quite a while ago. I've only seen a little bit of him on tele, but have enjoyed that too.

One thing I've always admired about Bourdain is his reverence for tradition and culture. It sounds like some of that has carried over into this book, and I am excited to learn more about his family life. If he hadn't mellowed a little bit in his aging, I think I'd find that a bit sad!!!! It's to be expected.

I love the way he tries different things and isn't afraid to be honest, but often he comes off as a little brash and too opinionated for my liking. That totally wouldn't stop me from reading this book though, because, like everyone else, I'd like to be privy to all the juicy details he has to share. Great review on this one.Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-36150256689710037382011-06-25T10:51:37.442-04:002011-06-25T10:51:37.442-04:00I've been looking forward to this book.

That had to be a huge pill for him to swallow given how much crap he's given to Oliver in the past. <br /><br />I have a love/hate relationship with Bourdain. I love him because of how incredibly honest and candid he is, but I hate him because of how much crap he gives to Food Network stars that I really like. Then again, the very beginning of this book gave some great insight as to why he's so resentful of the Food Network.Beth S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06944635942712994937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-21301477655856593492011-06-25T09:20:18.132-04:002011-06-25T09:20:18.132-04:00Well, this sounds like an interesting book.
