Product Description
In the multiweek New York Times bestseller The Nasty Bits, bestselling chef and No Reservations host Anthony Bourdain serves up a well-seasoned hellbroth of candid, often outrageous stories from his worldwide misadventures. Whether surviving a lethal hot pot in Chengdu, splurging on New York’s priciest sushi, or singing the praises of Ecuadorian line cooks and Hell’s Kitchen dives, Bourdain is as provocative, engaging, and opinionated as ever. The Nasty Bits is an irresistible tasting menu of food writing at its outrageous best—served up Bourdain style.

 Love it! September 5, 2008
This book was great. I love reading everything Anthony writes because you can hear him speak as you read it.
Great and all TRUE August 30, 2008
Loved this, bought it's the second one of Anthony's I have ordered. I am a Chef myself and it brings tears to my eyes knowing someone else is being tormented by patrons and the front of the house. Very good reading even if you never have cooked a meal his humor and honesty makes this book GREAT.
Quick read August 14, 2008
This is a collection of stories and experiences Bourdain has written about over the years. Some of them are very good, others a little over the top or even slightly boring. He has toned down some of his jabs at other celebrity chefs, trying to give balance and to temper past comments. If only I think to deflect any potential criticism of hypocracy, given that he has become quite the celeb himself. Some of his rants in the past have come across to me as a bit self serving.
It's a fairly quick read and is worth it for most of the chapters. It really deserves three and a half stars, but I can only give it three or four, so I selected four. I actually got some useful insight out of it. Also Kitchen Confidential was a real hoot. He talks about a few other books that were written during the last century, of which I think were inspiration for Kitchen Confidential. I plan to try and find them.
I love Tony August 11, 2008
I am reading Bone in the throat right now and have read 4 of his other books, I can't get enough I play the old episodes on tv while I'm reading so its kind of like he's reading to me...
 Short Bits from Bourdain July 8, 2008
I found this book somewhat enjoyable as a self-professed fan of the author. It is a collection of thoughts left out of Kitchen Confidential (or repeats of those thoughts at times) and experiences of his since hitting the road making travel shows.
It is no Kitchen Confidential, but an easy read and more great insights from Mr. Bourdain. Having seen most of his shows some of this is reduntant, but still quite enjoyable.
