Jeff Gordinier - Hungry: Eating, Road-Tripping, and Risking It All with the Greatest Chef in the World — at Politics and Prose at Union Market

In a serendipitous meeting, Gordinier, Esquire’s food and drinks editor, met Danish chef René Redzepi, proprietor of Noma, when both were ready for new challenges. In this compelling report of their four-year global expedition, Gordinier takes us through the Yucatán peninsula in search of the perfect taco and the secrets of mole; goes beach combing for sea rocket and wild celery off Sydney, Australia; samples the world’s finest sea urchins in an obscure site on the Arctic Circle, and finally ends up back in Copenhagen, where Redzepi recognizes the possibilities in an abandoned lot, and resurrects his restaurant.
