Description: Anthony Bourdain, Medium Raw: A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook. Ecco, 2010. Hardcover First Edition Book in Dust Jacket. ISBN 978-0-06-171894-6. Full number line on copyright page. Book is in very good condition, near fine. Perfect book boards and text block; dust jacket very good with tiny scratch at top right corner of front as shown in pictures, which are of the actual book being offered for sale. Purchased out of the fabulous estate of Margaret and Douglas Fancher in Oxford, MS, who lived in the Theora Hamblett home on Van Buren Avenue. Douglas Fancher's bookplate is on the inside cover. Anthony Bourdain's Medium Raw explores the changes in cooking and the restaurant business, taking the reader back and forth—from the author’s bad old days—to the present. Tracking his own strange and unexpected voyage from journeyman cook to globe travelling professional eater and drinker, Bourdain compares and contrasts what he’s seen and what he’s seeing, pausing along the way for a series of confessions, rants, investigations, and interrogations of some of the more controversial figures in food. Always returning to the question, “Why cook?" and the harder question to answer, “Why cook well?” Beginning with a secret and highly illegal after-hours gathering of powerful chefs which he compares to a Mafia summit, the book follows in Bourdain's inimical style the twists and eddies of subjects ranging from: • “The Friends of David Chang” an incredibly undiplomatic discussion with (and peek into the mind of) one of the hottest, most influential chefs in America. • “Don’t Ask Alice”: Alice Waters. Good . . . or Evil? • The Big Shake Out: The restaurant business in post economic meltdown America. How it’s changing. How it might change even more. • Heroes and Villains
