Read these over summer vaca and really enjoyed both (and yes, I know I was pretty much the last one on the planet to pick them up). Anthony Bourdain always seems totally in love with himself on television, and I wasn't sure if I could stomach it through an entire book. But, he's humble enough to portray himself in an endearing light, and it ended up being a great read about the restaurant biz in general, and NY specifically.
Omnivore's Dilemma, wow. I seriously loved this book, and again I know this is not news to most people. But if you're one of the last who hasn't read it, don't put it off another day. A really informative and accessible look at the full length of the food industry and the ecology behind agriculture, I learned so much. And who doesn't want to read about corn sex in their spare time?
