  <default_description>&lt;b&gt;The good, the bad, and the ugly, served up Bourdain-style. &lt;/b&gt;Bestselling chef and &lt;i&gt;No Reservations &lt;/i&gt;host Anthony Bourdain has never been one to pull punches. In &lt;i&gt;The Nasty Bits&lt;/i&gt;, he serves up a well-seasoned hellbroth of candid, often outrageous stories from his worldwide misadventures. Whether scrounging for eel in the backstreets of Hanoi, revealing what you didn't want to know about the more unglamorous aspects of making television, calling for the head of raw food activist Woody Harrelson, or confessing to lobster-killing guilt, Bourdain is as entertaining as ever. Bringing together the best of his previously uncollected nonfiction&amp;#8212;and including new, never-before-published material&amp;#8212;&lt;i&gt;The Nasty Bits &lt;/i&gt;is a rude, funny, brutal and passionate stew for fans and the uninitiated alike. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>

There have been a few laugh out loud points, and his descriptions of his travels are, in my opinion, the best essays.  Quite a few of the names he refers to are of other chefs t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63263331">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[i really tried to give this one a go. i was really hoping bourdain would write more about food - that he would be more gastronomic and less egocentric. these bits were a collection of previously published essays in national and international periodicals. but they are less about the adventures in eat...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37282715">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A collection of mostly previously published magazine articles, this anthology was hit and miss.  Most of the pieces were amusing, but very few really stood out.  I think I liked the preface (or forward?  whatever this particular introduction was called) better than most of the actual articles.

    <body><![CDATA[Any book that is dedicated to Johnny,Joey and Dee Dee, and is not about the Ramones or music in anyway is off to a good start.Next page-seal hunting. What next? More classic Bourdain. I love reading his stuff because it brings up a lot of memories. When he talks about restaurants I've eaten in, I th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18695465">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm on a bit of a non-fiction spree here.  And frankly, it's because of my strange book-shelving system.  There are the to-be-read- shelves and the read-shelves.  The read shelves are further divided and organized, and the non-fiction section has more empty space.  Crazy way to pick what to read, bu...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6712475">more...</a>]]></body>
