I just started this book, written by the guy who wrote Kitchen Confidential. After the success of that book, he convinced his publisher to send him around the world searching for the perfect meal. He starts in Portugal, where his Portuguese boss at Les Halles invites him to a family cookout where they slaughter and eat an entire pig, from snout to hoof. His travels take him to East Asia, Southeast Asia, Latin America, Europe, and points in between, where he eats what he can. Throughout he's being filmed by the Food Network, where the cameramen are eating and vomiting along with him. He's a funny writer and already I can feel that I'll be hooked into reading this book well into the night.
