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.
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.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A Very Decently Put Together Piece
Very listenable work which will more than satisfy your expectations, and a really great adjunct to both Anthony's TV work, and as an additional memoriam to the guy who, really, stood head and shoulders above his peers, and is truly deeply missed.
Highly Recommended

Only for fans, maybe not even for them!
I get a little cynical when I see a new book with the great man’s name and face. Is this worthy of him? Or just a money grab? Would Tony approve?
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.

Strangely interesting
It’s a traveler’s guide of sorts but it’s not. The listener becomes kind of magnetized to Anthony’s wonderful descriptions of food.
