Book Hero thinking about your next read

This cookbook, based on the game-changing web series Chef's Night Out, features stories of the world's best chefs' debauched nights on the town, and recipes for the food they cook to soak up the booze afterwards.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Munchies brings the hugely popular show Chef's Night Out (on VICE Media's food website, MUNCHIES) to the page with snapshots of food culture in cities around the world. It features tall tales and fuzzy recollections from 65 of the world's top chefs, including Anthony Bourdain, Dominique Crenn, David Chang, Danny Bowien, Wylie Dufresne, Inaki Aizpitarte, and Enrique Olvera, among others.

Then there are the recipes: dishes these chefs cook when they're done feeding customers and are ready to feed their friends instead. With chapters like β€œDrinks” (i.e. how to get your night started), β€œThings with Tortillas,” β€œHardcore” (including pizzas, nachos, poutines, and more), and β€œMorning After” (classy and trashy dishes for the bleary-eyed next day), Munchies features more than 65 recipes to satisfy any late-night craving and plenty of drinks to keep the party going.
