Almost perfect. They sent it out and I got it very quickly. Well packaged. Excellent price. They do good work as a seller. Every disc was clear of issues and played perfectly. Very happy overall. Only 1 disc was missing, but it was only the first 4 episodes so I'm happy, didn't bother contacting the seller because It's not a problem so they might be surprised to see that in the review, beyond that everything was great.

  • A No Holds, No Reservations Search for the Perfect Meal

    Anthony Bourdain's A Cook's Tour is a well-written record of his travels around the world in his search for the perfect meal. All too conscious of the state of his aging knees after a working life standing at various restaurant stoves, and flush with the unexpected boon from his first book, Kitchen Confidential, he concludes he needs a bit more wind under his wings. Bourdain defines "perfect meal" not so much as the most upscale, chi-chi, three-star dining experience, but the ideal combination of food, atmosphere, and company. The story arc takes the reader to fishing villages in Vietnam, bars in Cambodia, and Tuareg camps in Morocco for roasted sheep's testicle. It serves up smoked fish and sauna in the frozen Russian countryside and the French Laundry in California's Napa Valley, ...

  • A Cook's Tour

    Anthony Bourdain writes like he speaks on his tv show in this book. It is more a geography and adventure type script than a cook book. He tells you stories of the places he has visited and the experiences he's encountered with people and the different kinds of foods he was served in various faraway lands. He's other book,"Kitchen Confidential", is written in a more laid-back format than this book. If you like his show, this book will remind of that as you read each chapter until the end. Not a book to be read at one sitting only.

  • Awesome
