I can't say anything negative about this book. I mean, the dude just died. I will instead insert my favorite quotes, leaving the few criticism behind in the margins of my freshly read copy.
"They were moving like water, downhill all the time, and they flowed at last to a main highway on a valley's floor. Through the valley flowed a Mississippi of humiliated Americans."
"She was a dull person, but a sensational invitation to make babies."

A Cook's Tour
Oh, Anthony Bourdain... I wish I could have two husbands in the future. Maybe I'll just make my Mateo pierce his ear and wear a thumb ring.
A good read, but I have a feeling Kitchen Confidential will be better. Being totally ignorant about geography, politics, and history, I had to do some wikipedia-ing as I read. Those stereotypically boy topics have always eluded me. Wrapped in the concept of cuisine though, I finally kind of got it. Also, I now feel learned enough to use the term “cuisine”.
