In New York Times Magazine food editor Christine Muhlke's review of Anthony Bourdain's book Medium Raw, she calls it an "often funny, sometimes confusing mix." Muhlke writes: "Bourdain is acutely aware of his own shtick, which risks turning him into Andy Rooney in a leather jacket... Beneath the relentless swearing, the back-of-the-classroom bullying and the Mudd Club hipster posturing, Bourdain is a hopeless romantic when it comes to food and the people who cook."
