The Nasty Bits by Bourdain Anthony

The Nasty Bits: Collected Varietal Cuts, Usable Trim, Scraps, and Bones, is a best-selling collection of 37 anecdotes and essays, many centered on food, broken into the five categories of taste: salty, sweet, sour, bitter, umami. The essays are followed by a 30 page fictional story “A Chef’s Christmas.” The book concludes with a commentary about the pieces including when and why they were written, most of the articles being collected from Bourdain’s various writings in magazines and newspapers.

Bestselling chef and host of "No Reservations" has never been one to pull punches. In his latest work, he serves up a well-seasoned "hellbroth" of candid, often outrageous stories from his worldwide misadventures.
