Sounds offal. :biggrin: But I'll get it anyway. :cool:

If I order a bunch for Christmas presents I wonder if Mr. AB would sign them.... :rolleyes:

Lreda · July 23, 2004

That's a interesting idea. They would make great gifts.

Pickles · July 23, 2004

Nice cover photo. Nuff said! :wink:

Explains why he's been so quiet on the boards as of late!

Anthony Bourdain's Les Halles Cookbook: Stategies, Recipes, and Techniques of Classic Bistro Cooking.

Good lord. Amazon really DOES spell it "stategies" on their site. Go figure. (Yes, it's correct on the book cover itself! :biggrin: )

Gifted Gourmet · July 23, 2004

Yes, it's correct on the book cover itself!

Considering what it costs to publish a book, this is a very nice touch ... :rolleyes:

Spell check needed on Amazon? What is this world coming to?? :laugh:

Why would you want Alton Brown to sign Bourdain's book? :biggrin:

Well, you can find strategies everywhere. You have to look really hard to find a good book on statgies.

Am reminded of Will Ferrell's Pres. Bush impression wherein he uttered

"Strategery"

Why would you want Alton Brown to sign Bourdain's book?

Yeah! :biggrin: And hopefully it's something more than a scribbled AB on a sticker that's pasted in the book. That's what I got in I'm Just Here for the Food .

Chef Shogun · July 23, 2004

Definately want that cookbook. Anybody know of any good $1.23 items on Amazon? :laugh:

Note that in the Editorial Reviews section Eric Ripert calls the recipes "deliicious."

You Anthony Bourdain fans are a bunch of obsessed motherfuckers. Look at this listing of what people who have ordered this book have also ordered:

Customers who bought this book also bought:
Typhoid Mary: An Urban Historical by Anthony Bourdain (Why?)
Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly by Anthony Bourdain (Why?)
Gone Bamboo by Anthony Bourdain (Why?)
Bone in the Throat by Anthony Bourdain (Why?)
Larousse Gastronomique by Prosper Montagne (Editor), Larousse Gastronomique (Rate it)

Of course, Larousse is probably heavier than all the others put together.

Ummm... Have you read Typhoid Mary for example? That is a remarkably well researched book and a good read for any enlightened sociologist.

Yeah, baby! :laugh: And looking forward to a cookbook of hizzen with some noodle frontity pics. I gotta see how the recipe's sposta come out! :cool:

Don't forget that in Seattle you will get the book when you spend the evening with Bourdain at a Cooks and Books Dinner in the fall. He will sign the book for you while you dine with him at Brasa. He'll dedicate books for you to give as gifts, too. Chef Tamara Murphy will prepare a meal from Tony's recipes. I'll post more on the Pacific Northwest board soon.

thebaker · July 25, 2004

looks like it will be a good book

But in the Bio it says that he is the Ex chef at Les Halles but a Chef friend of mine has had that job for some time now?

Is he still with them?

Tony sometimes cooks at Les Halles and is essentially on a consulting basis with them. He's very good friends with the owner, so he's certainly not "out" in any sense of the word.

He's also their number one cookbook salesperson.

Who you callin' obsessed Mr. Msg? Obsessed? Ya' think? Smart ass. :wink: Hopefully he'll be stoppin' in at Powell's again but I'm hopin' to come up to Seattle to dine with the Seattle eG'ers and Ruffians. :wub:

duckduck · July 28, 2004

The more I think about it...obsessed bunch of motherfuckers... that just screams "Spank me, Mommie." I'm not sure though. It is kind of hard to hear you mumbling through that Pixie bar in your mouth. :blink: :laugh: Be careful of picking on girls, M'ijo...some like to spank back!

Is there something in the water of the Willamette? You guys are just plain weird. :wub: :wub:

Anyway, I ordered my copy yesterday. Yes, I am actually willing to pay for it. At least, with him.
