About this title

Review:

"A weird and wonderful book." --The Wall Street Journal

"It's delightfully disgusting." --Outside

"I couldn't have written Cook's Tour without this book." --Anthony Bourdain, noted chef & traveler

"...you have o love a book with chapters titled Ears, Eyes, Noses, Lungs, Tongues, Lips, Gums, Glands and Feet. Well maybe love is too strong a word, but if you want to read about food while squirming as if at a horror movie, Extreme Cuisine will do it for you." --The Los Angeles Times

"...an informative if stomach-turning tour de gastronome. make sure you chow down first; you won't be hungry afterwards." --Time Magazine
