Finally got the Free Nasty Bits (Bourdain)

[yumyum]

I can't find the old thread where we were lamenting the wait for our free Nasty Bits book (I think it was an Amstel promotion?). I was really surprised to receive my copy in the mail last week. Did everyone else get theirs too?

(sheepish -- and does anyone know how to find anything anymore? I understand faceted search and still can't locate this old thread.)

Great read, some chapters I really enjoyed, including the one on Masa's in New York, chapters on Singapore and Vietnam, I am so hungry now on a Friday night reading his book! And...the fact he gives props to the really people doing all the work in the back kitchens--

I got mine today! Very surprised!

I dug into it last night and really liked it -- especially the commentary he makes about each piece afterwards (in the back of the book). He comments about how he's changed since he wrote a piece, or apologizes for the tone of an essay, gives context for the remarks. Makes him much more human to me.

Yes, it is important to read the commentary in the back of the book. It seems to me that AB is becoming a better and better writer. I really enjoyed this book.

Me, too. Read the forward only.....very descriptive about a family eating a whole seal! Yes, it was disgusting, compelling, and left me wanting more.

Got mine the other day too. I was stunned!
