Lots fun; humorous， & heartfelt。

Food-based traveling is the way to go。 Action appreciates food on another level and I so appreciate it！

Not what I expected but was a great read。 So many different foods！ I love the format， layout， and typography of the book。

Quite possibly the worst book I ever read。 The recipes are not remarkable at all and he provides little to no insight into what inspires his interest in the foods he writes about。 He comes across as a legend in his own mind and in my opinion that’s exactly where he should stay。

I bet I could get high and talk about 100 foods I like too， but this book was distracting AF so I'm into it。 I bet I could get high and talk about 100 foods I like too， but this book was distracting AF so I'm into it。 。。。more

Not a cookbook in the traditional sense， this is essentially just a list of Bronson’s favourite food experiences he’s had。 Take it or leave it

I just got upgraded from a old black and white e-reader to a A**z*n Tablet for Christmas so it’s going to be cook books， art books， comic books and books with hella pictures for the foreseeable future。 （Or until my free trial of K***le Unlimited runs out）Anyway， have you ever met anyone who loves food like AB？ He gets distracted talking about food by talking about other food。 When he’s talking about feta cheese with satsumas and then sidetracks to that roasted chicken that’s marinated in feta br I just got upgraded from a old black and white e-reader to a A**z*n Tablet for Christmas so it’s going to be cook books， art books， comic books and books with hella pictures for the foreseeable future。 （Or until my free trial of K***le Unlimited runs out）Anyway， have you ever met anyone who loves food like AB？ He gets distracted talking about food by talking about other food。 When he’s talking about feta cheese with satsumas and then sidetracks to that roasted chicken that’s marinated in feta brine。 I moaned yum out loud。 F**k that sounds delicious！ 。。。more

Dont think its a cookbook， although it has a number of recipes， it is more avout his travels which is still very interesting
Scott

Only for his biggest fans， I feel。 A lot of humble （and not so humble） bragging and name dropping， peppered with very lazy descriptions of food and experiences where he may as well have finished each sentence with “I guess you had to be there”。 There’s a handful of recipes I may one day try， but as far as ‘cook books woven with entertaining writing’ go， this fails both categories。

I gotta respect Action Bronson's approach to food and culture。 He grew up in a very Albanian household and was initially exposed just to the food he could find in his neighborhood。 That gave him a really earnest appreciation for new foods and cultures that was really apparent throughout the book。 That made it a fun read。 I wish there were a few more recipes， and some bits are just straight up weird （the four page annotation of a lunch conversation was not nearly as interesting as he thought it w I gotta respect Action Bronson's approach to food and culture。 He grew up in a very Albanian household and was initially exposed just to the food he could find in his neighborhood。 That gave him a really earnest appreciation for new foods and cultures that was really apparent throughout the book。 That made it a fun read。 I wish there were a few more recipes， and some bits are just straight up weird （the four page annotation of a lunch conversation was not nearly as interesting as he thought it was）， but overall a fun book。 。。。more

I looooved this show。 I like the book。 There were some things I thought were superfluous but I’m sure Action Bronson would argue with me and win。 He’s a force to be experienced， so while the book is good， watch the show on Hulu instead。

"I got the jar full of drugsFridge is filled with SnappleSouthern coast of FranceTart fennel with the apple" - Jar of DrugsThis book， a companion to the Viceland TV series of the same name， was an absolute delight。 If I may， without making you cringe too much， adopt Bronson's diction for a moment， it was fire。 When I wasn't reading it， I couldn't wait to get back to it。 My nephew recommended the music of Action Bronson （ Ariyan Arlsani） to me several years ago。 He didn't specify why， but sai "I got the jar full of drugsFridge is filled with SnappleSouthern coast of FranceTart fennel with the apple" - Jar of DrugsThis book， a companion to the Viceland TV series of the same name， was an absolute delight。 If I may， without making you cringe too much， adopt Bronson's diction for a moment， it was fire。 When I wasn't reading it， I couldn't wait to get back to it。 My nephew recommended the music of Action Bronson （ Ariyan Arlsani） to me several years ago。 He didn't specify why， but said he thought it would appeal to me specifically。 I was a little bemused and more than a little flattered that he thought I was cool enough to appreciate the music he loves， so I failed to ask follow-up questions*。 I guess I assumed， since Mr。 Arsalani's stage name riffs on the star of Death Wish and Mr。 Majestyk， that Gus was giving a nod to my from-the-70s aesthetic orientation。 Maybe that figured in， but I now know it had more to do with this Bronson's profane irreverence and his culinary-school-trained and professional-kitchen-refined gustatory sensibilities。 As I understand it from his music， Action Bronson loves marijuana， giving and receiving oral sex， and all things delicious， whether international haute cuisine or "takeout eaten off the hood of the car。" Check， check， and check。 Definitely my kinda cat: a hip-hop Bourdain with a buzz cut， a Dostoevsky beard， vast food knowledge and an enviable capacity for consumption。 Fuck， That's Delicious， the book， is structured as an accounting， with recipes**， of Bronson's 100 favorite， food-related things。 In addition to deliciousness， I， like most habitues of the Internet， love a list。In a review of Kill Bill， Daniel Mendelssohn posited that the key to Quentin Tarantino's success is that， in a town full of desperately insecure followers， Tarantino is someone who knows exactly what he likes。 I think that that is right on。 Love without doubt is irresistibly attractive and it made this book an intoxicating read。 This guy loves food， and I don't mean that in the vague way that most people say they love this or that eating experience: "Oh， I love lasagna！" Bronson's is a love with ardor and specificity。 Here is a passage from his paean to "Bagel with Cheese，" the fondly recalled and frequently revisited Eden of childhood food satisfaction in Action Bronson World: "It is important to use Polly-O whole milk mozzarella， filling up most of the hole you just made with a half-inch layer of cheese - but do leave a few of the rough edges exposed so they crisp up。 Fresh mozzarella won't work; low-fat or skim won't work。 Sometimes my mother would try to trick me with low-fat mozzarella or Key Food brand supermarket mozzarella， because it was on sale。 I could always tell the difference。 It's so depressing， like getting bad coke when you know the good stuff: Why am I being teased with this bullshit？ Why won't you get me the dope shit？" *Actually， I usually fail to。 It's a real character flaw of mine。 I don't know how I've ever learned anything in life。**Cook-to-cook recipes that give the reader some credit for judgment and a modicum of skill。 。。。more

I’ve seen an episode of his show and was amused enough to snag this at the library。 It’s a very quick read—there’s not a lot of text， really。 It’s anecdotes， asides， mini-essays， and lists （I love a good list and these are fun）—with lots of sweet pictures and a handful of recipes in between。 On the practical level: I found a couple things I’d like to try， places I’d like to visit， and some interest in checking out his music。 On the enjoyment level: The voice feels genuine—or at least matches wha I’ve seen an episode of his show and was amused enough to snag this at the library。 It’s a very quick read—there’s not a lot of text， really。 It’s anecdotes， asides， mini-essays， and lists （I love a good list and these are fun）—with lots of sweet pictures and a handful of recipes in between。 On the practical level: I found a couple things I’d like to try， places I’d like to visit， and some interest in checking out his music。 On the enjoyment level: The voice feels genuine—or at least matches what I’ve heard。 It’s relaxed and knowledgeable， but it’s not something I’d want more of—in this medium， anyway。 I expect that if you’re already a fan this will be excellent。 All in all， this isn’t something I’d buy unless I were a fan。 Worth a free look， though。 2。5 （ok+） 。。。more

This one was a tough one。 I enjoy Action's shows and music so I went into this book thinking I would be head over heels with it。 Sadly， this was not the case。 He had some thoughtful insights but some of his writing comes off as "Trumpish"。 I get it， that's his persona， but it got tiring。 I haven't cooked any of his recipes， but I wouldn't view this as a regular cookbook。 His recipes used ingredients that I didn't know what they were so I found myself googling them。 Other cookbooks would give foo This one was a tough one。 I enjoy Action's shows and music so I went into this book thinking I would be head over heels with it。 Sadly， this was not the case。 He had some thoughtful insights but some of his writing comes off as "Trumpish"。 I get it， that's his persona， but it got tiring。 I haven't cooked any of his recipes， but I wouldn't view this as a regular cookbook。 His recipes used ingredients that I didn't know what they were so I found myself googling them。 Other cookbooks would give footnotes on what they are and common substitutes， but I am not knocking the book based on that。The imagery throughout the book was pretty decent。 I could have lived without some of the actual photographs as some just seemed thrown in there， but the actually illustrations were wonderful。 。。。more

If you appreciate appreciation of food， then you'll appreciate this book and this man。 Action had created a memoir based upon his love of food。 Food memories shape us and Action is no different。 I have cooked my way through this book。 I find myself with a broader appreciation of his culture and can make a mean chicken parmigiana。 If you appreciate appreciation of food， then you'll appreciate this book and this man。 Action had created a memoir based upon his love of food。 Food memories shape us and Action is no different。 I have cooked my way through this book。 I find myself with a broader appreciation of his culture and can make a mean chicken parmigiana。 。。。more

If you are looking for an actual cookbook skip this one， I suppose perhaps I would have rated this higher had I known who this person is and had any interest in him。 It really is a book by the author who thinks he's a chef and a rapper and funny。 I didn't get the jokes， but again I don't have any clue who he is， I guess I've fallen off my pop culture game？！ There are a few recipes if you can find them buried throughout his rambling about his life， family， friends and any other experiences he fin If you are looking for an actual cookbook skip this one， I suppose perhaps I would have rated this higher had I known who this person is and had any interest in him。 It really is a book by the author who thinks he's a chef and a rapper and funny。 I didn't get the jokes， but again I don't have any clue who he is， I guess I've fallen off my pop culture game？！ There are a few recipes if you can find them buried throughout his rambling about his life， family， friends and any other experiences he finds important to talk about。 I did start reading， I really tried hard。。。but after a bit I just had to stop and look for just the recipes because none of his stories were adding to my life。 So if you know who this guy is and like him then read the book。。。。looking for recipes skip it！ 。。。more

In the past I've had what's commonly referred to as a man crush on Action so clearly I'm biased。 The first recipe is a bowl of Crispex eaten over the sink。 Always good to lower expectations early on although he clearly knows and loves all calibers of dining。 The most entertaining cook/food book I've read and a great look into the mind of this personable maniac。 Five stars if you're a prior fan。 In the past I've had what's commonly referred to as a man crush on Action so clearly I'm biased。 The first recipe is a bowl of Crispex eaten over the sink。 Always good to lower expectations early on although he clearly knows and loves all calibers of dining。 The most entertaining cook/food book I've read and a great look into the mind of this personable maniac。 Five stars if you're a prior fan。 。。。more

There’s a lot going on in this book。 Not a straight-up cookbook- more like a scrapbook of all the unhealthy but great shit AB eats。 （Home recipes and street food recommendations in no particular order。） 4 stars for his shout-out to Margie’s Candies in Chicago， because it is fucking delicious and a treasure。

I suddenly feel the need to trek down to Queens to try every single thing mentioned in this book。 Action Bronson might have a weird Thing about ketchup， but he clearly knows his shit regarding good food。 His enthusiasm specifically about natural wines has me curious。 I suddenly feel the need to trek down to Queens to try every single thing mentioned in this book。 Action Bronson might have a weird Thing about ketchup， but he clearly knows his shit regarding good food。 His enthusiasm specifically about natural wines has me curious。 。。。more

I was originally quite intrigued by the title of this book。 But after a friend came over and we perused it， I was no longer anxious to read much more。 This is just the ramblings of a guy who seems to really enjoy his food。 I was quite thoroughly unimpressed。 I'm glad I simply borrowed it from the library， and didn't waste my money on it。 I was originally quite intrigued by the title of this book。 But after a friend came over and we perused it， I was no longer anxious to read much more。 This is just the ramblings of a guy who seems to really enjoy his food。 I was quite thoroughly unimpressed。 I'm glad I simply borrowed it from the library， and didn't waste my money on it。 。。。more
