Sinossi
In questa raccolta di articoli comparsi su riviste quali "Gourmet" e "Rolling Stone" e su quotidiani come il "Los Angeles Times", Bourdain guarda il mondo da questa sua nuova situazione di "esiliato" dalle cucine. Gran parte degli articoli è sui toni del precedente "Kitchen Confidential": la fauna di desperados multietnici che popola le cucine di New York, le bevute dopo il turno serale, le atmosfere chiassose e sanguigne, l'epico attaccamento dei cuochi alla loro vita sfasata. Gli scritti sulle cucine di New Mothafuckin' York City sono quelli in cui Bourdain dà il meglio di sé: si va dalla guida ai migliori "deli" di New York, con tanto di indirizzo, descrizione dei piatti e del servizio; all'elogio dell'immigrazione clandestina, di messicani, ecuadoriani e caraibici, che fornisce così tante valide braccia al mondo della ristorazione, molto meglio degli studentelli bianchi, freschi di scuola professionale; alla spiegazione del gergo di cucina.

The thing that Bourdain taught me is that you can study a culture through its food. He wasn't just finding the best noodles, he was asking: how do they cook here? How did they used to cook? Who cooks? He was doing a sort of food archaeology, digging down to find the purest food that a culture has pr Leggi tutto
I should point out, for those who haven't read my previous reviews of Bourdain's work, that I am not an objective reader when it comes to him. So please, take this with a grain of salt. "The Nasty Bits" is a collection of essays and articles written at various time through Bourdain's career and arran Leggi tutto
I was 2/3 through this book when the news broke of Bourdain’s suicide. I would have been devastated no matter what, but this made it feel close and even eerie. The night before he died I had read his essay on addiction, and the eternal struggle to stay clean. It was one of the few essays not focused Leggi tutto
Perhaps if these had been read in the formate they were originally published, the experience of reading them in a magazine would have been more interesting as I could leave behind the droning complaints and repetition. Bourdain’s Privilege really comes through in his complaints, unable to recognise Leggi tutto
Anthony Bourdain: An Alternate History If you can catch a dentist in a quiet, reflective moment over a drink, and ask what the worst aspects of the job are, you will probably get the following answer: “The pressure, the fast pace, the isolation from normal society, the long hours, the pain, the relen Leggi tutto
