Description
A celebration of the life and legacy of one of the most important food writers of all time – the inimitable Anthony Bourdain
Anthony Bourdain saw more of the world than nearly anyone. His travels took him from his hometown of New York to a tribal longhouse in Borneo, from cosmopolitan Buenos Aires, Paris, and Shanghai to the stunning desert solitude of Oman’s Empty Quarter – and many places beyond.
In World Travel, a life of experience is collected into an entertaining, practical, fun and frank travel guide that gives readers an introduction to some of his favorite places – in his own words. Featuring essential advice on how to get there, what to eat, where to stay and, in some cases, what to avoid.
Supplementing Bourdain’s words are a handful of essays by friends, colleagues, and family that tell even deeper stories about a place, including sardonic accounts of traveling with Bourdain by his brother, Chris; a guide to Chicago’s best cheap eats by legendary music producer Steve Albini, and more.
Advance Praise

'One of the world’s first and most influential celebrity chefs ' - Guardian
'Thrillingly profane, aggressively truthful voice … He would eat anything, go anywhere and say anything ' - New York Times

An excellent book weaving together Tony's own words and a number of his friends, family members, and colleagues own collected thoughts and memories.
This would be absolutely ideal for fans of Parts Unknown and anyone looking to plan how to get around and find a good place to eat in an unfamiliar country.

This is first book I have read by this author. The only way to travel over the last twelve months has been through books, TV and film. This joyous and honest recollection of towns and cities around the world through the medium of restaurants is wonderful. The relaxed but informative style of writing is refreshing. It felt as if I was sitting down with a good friend and discussing where to eat when planning a trip. I am just sorry that I found the author after he had passed away as I would of used his advice for my own travels.
Not linked to one stlye of food or culture which is part of the joy.

Anthony Bourdain was on the most well travelled people on the planet. His easy going personality gave him the chance to really get into the country he was visiting. He simply comes across as a really nice man. His book - World Travel - shines with his descriptions and insights. I love his style of writing, gentle yet informative. I have enjoyed very much reading this - a lovely book to muse at bedtime!
