I admit that this isn't a cookbook, but The Nasty Bits, Anthony Bourdain's newest book, is worth a look if you are a fan of his culinary adventures and up-front tone. Officially released today, it is a collection of essays and articles by Bourdain and each one is a stand alone piece, like a separate menu item. Many, if not all, of the pieces have previously been published, but that didn't take anything away from Steingarten's essays and it shouldn't diminish the entertainment value of Bourdain's forays into the various forms of gastronomy, from "the nether regions of unusual beasties" to celebrity chef-owned Vegas venues.
If you're looking for a cookbook, try Anthony Bourdain's Les Halles Cookbook, which is full of classic French bistro recipes and pick up a copy of The Nasty Bits for some entertaining reading the next time you travel.
