Commentary During Books Get Jiro! (Get Jiro #1)

In a not-too-distant future L.A. where master chefs rule the town like crime lords and people literally kill for a seat at the best restaurants, a bloody culinary war is raging.

On one side, the Internationalists, who blend foods from all over the world into exotic delights. On the other, the "Vertical Farm," who prepare nothing but organic, vegetarian, macrobiotic dishes. Into this maelstrom steps Jiro, a renegade and ruthless sushi chef, known to decapitate patrons who dare request a California Roll, or who stir wasabi into their soy sauce. Both sides want Jiro to join their factions. Jiro, however has bigger ideas, and in the end, no chef may be left alive!

Anthony Bourdain, top chef, acclaimed writer (Kitchen Confidential, Medium Raw) and star of the hit travel show, No Reservations, co-writes with Joel Rose (Kill Kill Faster Faster, The Blackest Bird) this stylized send-up of food culture and society, with detailed and dynamic art by Langdon Foss.

Well, I'll certainly give Bourdain credit for coming up with the most bizarre future scenario I've seen: an urban landscape dominated by warring gangs of chefs, each with their own turf, supply lines, and roving gangs of thugs weilding butcher knives and ladle spoons. Outside of these gangs, there are also numerous independent chefs, suffering under the tyranny of the rival chieftains. One of these independent chefs is the genius sushi artist Jiro, who is being wooed by both sides in the

Our obsession with food and chefs has reached absurd proportions; cooking has become an spectator sport and everyone thinks they know how to talk about food even if they can't boil and egg. In a way, this comic destroys it all in a fun and beautifully drawn way. Recommended reading for all food lovers who hate the pretentiousness that's sometimes served on the side.

In the future, the movie and music industries have failed and eating remains the only form of popular entertainment. Chefs become religious icons and foodies break into warring factions of organized crime. The highlight of is its Get Jiro! illustrations. Lots of dynamic action and over-the-top samurai violence bring to mind a sushi-centered version of the Kill Bill series.Unfortunately, the storyline of this graphic novel reflects the values (or more appropriately, lack thereof) of the celebrity

A pulp graphic story (novella?) set in a dystopian future where food & dining is the ultimate status & currency. It certainly opens well when our protagonist, Jiro (a laconic but highly qualified sushi chef)operates a sushi bar in a ramshackle part of town. Three douche bags sit down and after some moronic banter and heretical sushi bar behavior, they order California rolls and are summarily beheaded with gruesome precision by Jiro. We discover the city is run by two clans, one headed by

Im not particularly a comic reader (no reservations, just never happened to read one), so my review might be a novice one.We lost (truly lost) Anthony Bourdain only yesterday. I came across the book when reading obituaries. If you love cooking, food, food culture, and significantly sushi, you will enjoy everything the book offers, the details in the drawings are profound.But, the book is also everything Bourdain; from the details prescribed to the food, from the weirdly amazing ingredients to

Graphic Novel Review (ARC) by Chris for Book Sake.So I guess Anthony Bourdain is a food snob and it really comes across in this book. People meet horrible deaths for not eating correctly. The food preaching is a little heavy handy. If we ignore that what we have is a well illustrated story about a rock and a hard place mixed with some David and Goliath struggles.The book is a bit on the violent side, maybe more then a bit. It kind of has the feel of a Tarantino or Rodriguez movie trying to be a

It almost feels like what would happen if we replaced society's obsession with sex with an obsession with food.Okay, so, Anthony Bourdain is kind of a dick who he hates vegans. We already know this about him, so I don't really feel the need to address it like other reviews have. I think if you're reading this you know what you're getting yourself into.I see this as a window into Anthony Bourdain's brain. And I have to say, I'm amused. Now, if you're looking for great characters or a riveting
