Description of  Take-Out: And Other Tales of Culinary Crime

“Meals make the society,” Bourdain said in a 2001 interview with BookPage. “The perfect meal, or the best meals, occur in a context that frequently has very little to do with the food itself.” Hart understands and shares this sentiment, delivering on it in story after story. The theme of food is merely the vessel in which these stories are served, but the meat of each of these dishes ultimately has little to do with the food itself. Hart’s just inviting us to the table and sharing with us a buffet of flawed characters in dangerous situations, exploring their lives and complications through a universally relatable theme, and doing so fully, with no reservations.
