Medium Raw

I have a love/hate relationship with Anthony Bourdain--he doesn't know so please don't tell him. I find his books entertaining, but I also think that he is a brash, obnoxious individual. He has a new book out called Medium Raw: a bloody valentine to the world of food and the people who cook--see what I mean isn't that an obnoxious title? Anyhow, my husband loves him and is trying to sway my attitude towards the love end. He has suggested I listen to a recent interview with him on Talk of the Nation because he thinks he has "mellowed out". Still not convinced but I do find him highly entertaining and strange.
