In Search of the Perfect Meal

Review

From New York City where he left us in Kitchen Confidential, Anthony Bourdain’s lunacy continues as he takes readers (and viewers for a companion television program) around the world in search of the perfect meal. Bourdain stumbles through a diverse culinary world as a Cook’s Tour recounts tales of fine dining at the French Laundry in Napa Valley, fishing villages in Vietnam, smoked fish in a sauna in the frozen Russian countryside, cobra in Saigon, Deep-fried Mars Bars in Glascow…

While there’s more danger and fear factor in A Cook’s Tour (not for the squeamish), it is every bit as shockingly hilarious, unpredictable, and entertaining as his first culinary memoir, and at its heart passionate about those who create and enjoy their own version of the perfect meal.
