Medium Raw

By Anthony Bourdain
Medium Raw by Anthony Bourdain digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Medium Raw marks the return of the inimitable Anthony Bourdain, author of the blockbuster bestseller Kitchen Confidential and three-time Emmy Award-nominated host of No Reservations on TV’s Travel Channel. Bourdain calls his book, “A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook,” and he is at his entertaining best as he takes aim at some of the biggest names in the foodie world, including David Chang, Alice Waters, the Top Chef winners and losers, and many more. If Hunter S. Thompson had written a book about the restaurant business, it could have been Medium Raw.

“Anthony Bourdain is unforgettable and sorely missed, it was awesome to hear his voice again and see inside his world in this book. I thoroughly enjoyed this book as a chef myself but also just for who he is as a person. I really loved how raw he is.”
Rolling on the Floor Laughing Face“I listened to the audiobook of this because I just miss Anthony Bourdain so much. I think if you really want to experience his books, listen to the audiobooks. There’s something so special about absorbing these stories by listening to him tell them himself. He was such a gem. A true hater, but a lover of what really mattered. This book was spectacular even if just for the entire chapter where he shits on Alice Waters, he was so fucking real and valid for that. We’re so lucky to have had him for as long as we did, but I wish he could’ve lived forever (even though I’m sure he would’ve hated the idea of being immortal). I hope wherever he is, he knows that he is so fucking missed every day.”
