The Man Who Ate the World by Jay Rayner
A hilarious and insightful journey into the world of restaurant meals.--Mario Batali
Nobody goes to restaurants for nutritional reasons. They go for the experience. And what price a really top experience? What price indeed? Fearlessly, and with great wit and verve, award-winning restaurant critic Jay Rayner goes in search of the perfect meal. From the Tokyo sushi chef who offers a toast of snake-infused liquor to close a spectacular meal, to Jo l Robuchon in Las Vegas where Robuchon himself eagerly watches his guest's every mouthful, to seven three-star Michelin restaurants in seven days in Paris, Rayner conducts a whirlwind tour of high-end gastronomy that will thrill the heart--and stomach--of any armchair gourmand. Along the way, he uses his entr e into the restaurant world to probe the larger issues behind the globalization of dinner. Riotously funny and shrewdly observed, The Man Who Ate the World is a fascinating look at the business and pleasure of fine dining.| SKU | Unavailable |
