It's true that I love Anthony Bourdain, so I'm probably not able to provide an unbiased review of this book....but it was really a fascinating glimpse into the food and dining "rituals" in a variety of cultures. Bourdain will go to any length and seemingly try anything at least once, and his lust for life and appreciation of good food and good people is pretty amazing. I have to admit there were a few pages that I had to skip because he does not shy away from some touchy descriptions of food preparation, including slaughter, but the book is an eye-opener. If you are a foodie, you really need to read this!
