About this listen
Bloomsbury presents World Travel by Anthony Bourdain, read by Laurie Woolever, Shep Gordon, Christopher Bourdain, Jen Agg, Matt Walsh, Bill Buford, Claude Tayag, Nari Kye, Vidya Balachander and Steve Albini.
'Terrific … His love for his subjects – both the food and the cook – sings' Telegraph
'Christ, could Bourdain weave words ... The guy wrote like a poet' Guardian
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. Additionally, each chapter includes illustrations by Wesley Allsbrook.
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.

A Very Decently Put Together Piece

This book did have wonderful quotes from his various travels, though for me just wasn’t genuine. Focused too long on the States and ignored places Tony travelled to several times and loved, such as Thailand.
Tony was head and shoulders above anyone else in the field, a few imitators try, but don’t come close to his genius. Fans will appreciate parts of this book, but it doesn’t do him justice and misses the mark.
Only for fans, maybe not even for them!
