3.5, rounded up to 4. Part travel guide (that's already outdated, alas as I checked a couple URLs that no longer work, though the restaurant still seems open... then again that's kind of the nature of guides), part collection of Tony's quotes from his various shows and interviews of the years.

My main takeaway is that Bourdain enjoyed fine hotels that I've never dreamed of staying at (but hey, maybe future goals?) and he had a lyrical way with words. I think I would've appreciated something more akin to the Last Chance to See revival where places that changed/moved are noted (and they are, to a degree). (

While I’ve always enjoyed Anthony Bourdain’s irreverent, but informative, shows, this alphabetic run through the world atlas of food locations, with getting around guides, was a disappointment. Collecting his insights throughout the years, combined with minimal new material and comments from other contributors was a cobbled-together mishmash. In audio, with poor pronunciation and uneven separation between Bourdain’s voice and the narrators’, the book was more problematic. And I’m sorry, but no amount of puffery will convince me to head out to southern West Virginia or Provincetown, MA to grab a bite. There have to be more exciting eateries in the US to highlight. This was a worthy project poorly executed. That being said, it still kicked up my appetite. R.I.P. Tony. (

I’m glad this book came out in 2021 and not 2020, it would have been too much of a tease about traveling when you couldn’t do it. A word to the wise there is nothing really new in this book but it is more of a travel guide to most of the places that Bourdain went to on his various trips. Hotel and restaurant info on the cities covered along with quotes of dialogue from the various shows about those cities. The back of the book is well footnoted with where each snippet came from. This doesn’t cover every place he went to but is a nice recap of lots of great television and certainly a lovely jumping off point of ideas about where you might want to travel.

I wanted to be in love with this book, the last Bourdain. Unfortunately, it's not particularly irreverent, or exciting - the interludes from people he knew and interacted with are the best part. When the words aren't all his (and Laurie is a wonderful writer), I'd prefer to re-watch his shows, where the writing comes directly from him. However, hopefully I will be returning to this travel guide when I can travel the world once more and be reminded of some of Tony's favorite places. (

I didn't think it would be possible to make Anthony Bourdain boring. Well, I was wrong. This book is not at all what I expected. It's simply collected reviews of the places Bourdain visited in his TV shows, consisting of comments cobbled together and read by various other people, with a few unnecessary biographical comments included by the general narrator ("Tony's daughter was conceived when he returned home from this trip."). It might be OK in book form, if what you're after is minimal travel info on the cities Bourdain explored (and I won't be going to any of those places soon), but it was a huge mistake getting it on audio. I just returned it, half listened to. I just couldn't bear to hear the canned closure of each section one more time: "Taxi from the airport costs about 22 Euros, or 20 US Dollars. Drivers do not expect a tip, but rounding up will be appreciated." Something you want to know if you're planning a specific trip but not if you are looking for a visit with Anthony Bourdain.

1/2 star for Bourdain's brilliance, which is totally demolished here. (
