Brazos Book of the Month August 2010

Medium Raw by Anthony Bourdain

Medium Raw

The long-awaited follow-up to the megabestseller Kitchen Confidential.

In the ten years since his classic Kitchen Confidential first alerted us to the idiosyncrasies and lurking perils of eating out, from Monday fish to the breadbasket conspiracy, much has changed for the subculture of chefs and cooks, for the restaurant business—and for Anthony Bourdain.

Medium Raw explores these changes, moving back and forth from the author's bad old days to the present. Tracking his own strange and unexpected voyage from journeyman cook to globe-traveling professional eater and drinker, and even to fatherhood, Bourdain takes no prisoners as he dissects what he's seen, pausing along the way for a series of confessions, rants, investigations, and interrogations of some of the most controversial figures in food.

A.J. Jacobs

November 15, 2009 - 7:30pm

 

Since we had to cancel his reading last year due to Hurricane Ike, we have anxiously been awaiting A.J. Jacobs's next appearance in Houston. Brazos and the Jewish Community Center are thrilled to host him for a reading of The Guinea Pig Diaries (released Sept. 8, 2009), a book of essays on all of A.J.'s hilarious adventures as a human guinea pig, including "My Outsourced Life" and "My Life as a Hot Woman."

A.J. Jacobs is the editor of What It Feels Like and the author of The Two Kings: Jesus and Elvis, The Year of Living Biblically, The Know-It-All, and America Off-Line. He is the senior editor of Esquire and has written for The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, Glamour, New York magazine, New York Observer, and other publications.

Please help us welcome him to Houston at JCC's 37th Annual Jewish Book & Arts Fair. Buy tickets here.
