<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>A hilarious and insightful journey into the world of restaurant meals.--Mario Batali</b> <p/>Nobody goes to restaurants for nutritional reasons. They go for the experience. And what price a really top experience? <p/>What price indeed? Fearlessly, and with great wit and verve, award-winning restaurant critic Jay Rayner goes in search of the perfect meal. From the Tokyo sushi chef who offers a toast of snake-infused liquor to close a spectacular meal, to Joël Robuchon in Las Vegas where Robuchon himself eagerly watches his guest's every mouthful, to seven three-star Michelin restaurants in seven days in Paris, Rayner conducts a whirlwind tour of high-end gastronomy that will thrill the heart--and stomach--of any armchair gourmand. Along the way, he uses his entrée into the restaurant world to probe the larger issues behind the globalization of dinner. <p/>Riotously funny and shrewdly observed, <i>The Man Who Ate the World</i> is a fascinating look at the business and pleasure of fine dining.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Jay's massive appetite for luxury items and his spectacular understanding of food, chefs, and dining combine to make this a hilarious and insightful journey into the world of restaurant meals. I may have been the bad seed at the root of this journey, but I take no credit whatsoever for his final realizations. I do wish he had invited me along though, for the great meals, for some sense of chef perspective, and to savor a couple of bottles of vintage Krug." --<i>Mario Batali</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Jay Rayner</b> is the restaurant critic for the London <i>Observer</i>, a regular contributor to <i>Gourmet</i>, and has written for both <i>Saveur</i> and <i>Food & Wine</i> in the United States.
