The reason I read this book is because Jay Rayner is a judge on a favorite show of mine - - Top Chef Masters (BRAVO). He is extremely witty on the show, so I thought he might be in the book as well.
I was right.
The book is part memoir, but mostly is dedicated to telling the tale of Jay's fine dining experiences around the world. Some are interesting. Some are hysterical. Some are neither. But Rayner's wit shines through without, and if you like reading snarky blogs, this book is not dissimilar.
