![]() ![]() ![]() While certainly one could criticize Bourdain's own seeming acceptance of the sexism and toxicity that he says is innate to the "culinary underbelly", the fact remains there is a reality to this narrative. But it takes on new meaning to hear Bourdain's bravado in joking about suicide, his unabashed love for the rough and tumble culinary world, and his blasé attitude toward airborne illnesses, the like of which he never lived to see. Of course what was raw and real and shocking in 2000 is still so today-perhaps more so. Published at a time, of course, when Anthony Bourdain was alive. Published at a time when sensibilities were altogether different. ![]() Published at a time that didn't know Covid. I wasn't prepared for the emotional journey I would take in listening to Anthony Bourdain read this book, originally published in 2000. ![]()
