Kindle why do I need a headline

Couldn't sleep so I opened one of these short Amazon Originals on my phone. Short, but pithy. My mom wouldn't like it (she stopped reading FOTB because "he keeps using bad words" but in this case I think the slang would be the barrier). Eddie's writing is always so genuinely felt, though it's weird coming to this in the post-Julie era (I do remember seeing her on his insta stories for a while though)

The animated gifs were nice. I did download the audio but haven't listened- might try that tomorrow/later today.… (mer)

On my parents' trip to see my grandfather last month, my mother wanted something to read for the car ride and saw this in my library book pile. She said she couldn't finish/didn't like it because of the swear words and sex (though tbh I can think of maybe 1 chapter where the second is a thing). Even though they're both 2nd gen, Eddie Huang is a Gen Xer and a rotten banana to boot, so I can kinda get the cultural disconnect.

I wasn't familiar with Huang but I did recognize the name Baohaus and the cover/title were intriguing, which is why I checked it out. It reminds me very much of [b:Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly|33313|Kitchen Confidential Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly|Anthony Bourdain|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1348988611s/33313.jpg|4219] in terms of I-Don't-Give-A-Fuck tone and writing style. Also because they're both autobiographies with the occasional food bits thrown in. I'm inclined to agree with Huang's assessment that celebrity chefs getting famous marketing 'ethnic' cuisine is nothing short of culinary imperialism, and now I'm really hungry for some bao (even if I am one of those ABCs checking off every Model Minority stereotype I've stumbled into).… (mer)

I received this ARC from a Goodreads giveaway. I loved getting to read it before it is released. Be prepared to be hungry while reading about all of the amazing and interesting food Eddie eats and cooks during his trip. It was awesome to travel to China with Eddie and his brothers Emery and Evan. The ending is sorta sad. Overall, the book is really great. I highly recommend it.

The ratio of rage to food talk was a surprise - I expected more about "real Taiwanese food" and less about beating people unconscious - yet the change-up was delightful. One hundred percent entertained from first page to last.
