Leigh replied to LizW's discussion ' Classic Food Books/Writers ' ...Certainly not 'Garlic and Sapphires' by Ruth Reichl. I just bought it (cheaply, thank god) and put it down after two chapters. Totally dislocated writing and , quite frankly, a boring story. For me, the daddy of all is Kitchen Confidential by An…

Because I took off yesterday and am mostly taking off today, I didn't have the time to write a column review of ABC's "The Deep End" (which premieres tonight at 8), but even if I had the time, I wouldn't have much enthusiasm to write about it. Basically, "The Deep End" is "Grey's Anatomy" with lawyers, and the execution is as cynical and flat as that premise sounds. There...

More Bourdain for you today. The blog Grub Street talked to the man it's calling "the elder statesman of food" about Medium Raw, a Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and and the People Who Cook, his sequel to Kitchen Confidential: I guess I'm less interested in being cruel or malicious just for the sake of a laugh. I mean ... Sandra Lee is pretty low hanging fruit. On the other hand, one...

It's been over a year since we heard Anthony Bourdain was writing a sequel to Kitchen Confidential . One very publicized scuffle with Alice Waters and a veritable sampler of badinage hurled at the entire Food Network roster later, the follow-up's title changed from the laconic Cooks to Medium Raw: A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook . The just-released cover art features...

In Kitchen Confidential Anthony Bourdain made a reference to, "...vegetarians, and their Hezbollah-like splinter faction, the vegans…" Harsh? Yeah. But hard to argue with unless you too are a vegan/Zealot. On the animal rights front I've always considered PETA to be al Qaida to the Humane Society's Fatah. In other words, PETA are extremist wackos while the HSUS is essentially a political...

It's no secret I love Anthony Bourdain. Kitchen Confidential is a rite of passage for anyone in the restaurant industry, and the Nasty Bits is one of the best collections of essays of any sort. Bourdain's writing is tough, honest, and brutal. It's rarely sentimental, so if he does wax nostalgic, you know it's for a good reason. Lest you think I'm just a raving sycophantic fan girl, there was a time...

Last night the bad boy of food, Anthony Bourdain , came to speak at the Palace Theater in Columbus. It was one of the most entertaining evenings I've ever had. As expected, Bourdain spared no punches, and was shockingly outspoken. But the crowd made the evening. The audience was raucous and highly participatory, yelling out "douche" when Bourdain broached the topic of vegetarians and "don't...
