Medium Raw marks the return of the inimitable Anthony Bourdain, author of the blockbuster bestseller Kitchen Confidential and three-time Emmy Award-nominated host of No Reservations on TV’s Travel Channel. Bourdain calls his book, “A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook,” and he is at his entertaining best as he takes aim at some of the biggest names in the foodie world, including David Chang, Alice Waters, the Top Chef winners and losers, and many more. If Hunter S. Thompson had written a book about the restaurant business, it could have been Medium Raw.

Hilarious, touching, poignant, wonderfully read. A must for anyone who loves food. Listening to Anthony Bourdain speak for hours is the best. What a voice, what a great book.

Anthony Bourdain was a Legend

Medium Raw is a weird fusion of a book. It's part second memoir, part hit piece on the elements of restaurant and food culture Boudain doesn't like, and also a celebration of both people and experiences that are meaningful to him in the space as well. You can't really classify it as any one of these, but it makes for a great listen.

Bourdain has incredible wit and an ability to deliver both the most glowing praise and most damning criticism in a way like no other. He does some vicious takedowns of Food Network, certain chefs and food writers, but rather than just rant, he takes apart what he doesn't like about them in a way that's funny and very convincing. However, even in his most brutal critiques, he always makes sure to point out what he thinks his targets do right and while he clearly doesn't care if he makes enemies of them, he is always sure to conclude his curbstomp with some helpful advice.

While Kitchen Confidential focused primarily on his career as a chef and unexpected rise into writer and unique TV personality, this focuses more on his journey since then, referring to the past when it's appropriate and talking about those people and experiences he's had in this new phase of his life. This won't convert anyone who doesn't like him (in fact, this will likely push you further away), but as someone who is a fan, I appreciated this. It is such a shame that mental illness took him from us so soon.

Brutally honest and fascinating

I was hoping for more Kitchen Confidential, it’s not. But he’s a different person when he wrote this and that shows. Still an awesome read!

Good, not great.

The follow up to Kitchen Confidential did not disappoint. Although I read Kitchen Confidential, listening to Anthony Bourdain narrate Medium Raw was even better. It was like watching any on his shows, except he tore some people apart, built others up and simply made me realize we will never get any new content from Anthony Bourdain, but we can appreciate the truly remarkable content we do have. I may have to get the Kitchen Confidential audiobook now.
Lastly, it’s a continuation, not a sequel so you can listen to it without having read/listened to Kitchen Confidential.
Enjoy.

Anthony Bourdain, need I say more?
