Book Reviews of A Cook's Tour: Global Adventures in Extreme Cuisines

Book Review: "Culinary Holy Grail !' ... I don't think so !
Summary: 2 Stars

A globial adventure in extreme cuisines...INDEED! Asking the question, "What would be the perfect meal?" Bourdain "Kitchen Confidential," newest book, "A Cooks Tour," is a joke at best. Going from one EXTREME to another made little or no sense at all to me. From Asia to Europe, Africa, and, parts of the U.S.A and god forbide I forget to mention Harry Kissinger and Bourdain's comparison of Cambodia to Vietnam all in the name of CULINARY JOURNALISM ! HELLO, Mr. Doofis, I thought I was going to get a few interesting ideas on "WHAT THE PERFECT MEAL WOULD BE," not an adventure in "AS YOUR STOMACH TURNS !"
