A Cook's Tour

Anthony Bourdain

I did look forward to this but it kinda fell flat after the first couple of chapters. Somehow reading a printed travel adventure knowing that there is a video version available kind of stunts my interest in further reading.

His chapter on the pig in portugal is graphic and the chapter on France is sad. He went back to France with his brother, supposedly to find the magic of his childhood visit, the magic of the oysters and the cafe and the bakery, but what he was really looking for was his father. He never found him. Sad. The man has issues.

Don't think I will read on.
