Chef, author and television host Anthony Bourdain is famous for his irreverent humour and straight-talking, pull-no-punches attitude.

He first rose to prominence in 2000 when he released his book Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly, a no-holds-barred memoir that recapped his career as a journeyman cook and exposed the dark side of the restaurant business.

Since then, Bourdain has travelled the world in search of gastronomic adventure on shows like the Food Network's A Cook's Tour and the Travel Channel's No Reservations, eating everything from apple caviar at Spain's famous el Bulli restaurant to fire-roasted warthog rectum in Namibia.

In his new book, Medium Raw: A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook, the long-awaited followup to Kitchen Confidential, Bourdain revisits the restaurant realm, and weighs in on North America's current culinary culture and food trends.

Bourdain will be at Massey Hall in Toronto on Sept. 22, currently the only Canadian date on his upcoming book tour.
