Anthony Bourdain is most widely known as the nomadic foody god on his Travel Channel TV show, No Reservations. What many people are probably not aware of is that he is also a writer. He is the author of many books, most notably Kitchen Confidential, a sort of tell-all of what happens in the many restaurant kitchens across America.
For his most recent authorial outing, Bourdain has decided to go down the visual route and co-author a graphic novel with Joel Rose. With Bourdain's pedigree, it's natural to assume this will also be in world of food. In an opening scene Jiro, a sushi chef, violently decapitates a man when they boisterously order a California Roll. Fast food sushi is something he does not do. I found the scene wildly hilarious and you would too.
This book seems like tons of fun. It has over top violence, great art provided by Langdon Foss and an abundance of tongue-in-cheek, food centric humor and that is why it is a book that I should be reading.
