"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 Joel 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 entree 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.
