A review by bluenicorn
Get Jiro: Blood and Sushi by Joel Rose, Anthony Bourdain, Alé Garza

2.0

This was pretty disappointing. Granted, I didn't give a super high review of the first, but the things that I liked in it- the food, the slight mocking of foodie culture, etc- that was all missing here. Just a bunch of Yakuza stuff, which felt kind of random and incoherent (that may be harsh... but I can't come up with a better word for the disjointed-feeling events.) I'm just perplexed that everything that was so novel about the first book was pretty much abandoned in this one.
