Product Description
The Man Who Ate The World is a journey through the great cities of the world. Its about extraordinary restaurants and the people who visit them. Its about the globalisation of high culture, the market in taste and the money spent on it. And, of course, its about dinner. From Las Vegas to Moscow, Dubai to Tokyo and New York to London, Jay Rayner chronicles the revolution in high-end gastronomy that has been sweeping the world since the late eighties. Not simply an account of endless meals in high-end restaurants, it is an exploration of the cities and cultures in which they are found; the inevitable involvement of Russian mafia in Moscows luxury post-soviet catering business, Tokyos efforts to fuse ancient Asian culture with Western ideas, and the feverish cult of the Manhattan restaurant in a town which considers itself the most cosmopolitan in the world. Part character-driven travelogue, part food critique, always sharp and often funny, this book is the result of Jay's lifelong campaign to find the perfect meal. Just dont read it if youre hungry.
