Get Jiro!

Chefsploitation! Pulpy samurai mashup that lets Bourdain thumb his nose at pretentious foodie douches and holier than thou vegan/freegan/locavore hippies.

Fine food becomes the currency of the wealthy and chefs are the new kingpins. The poor live off in the periphery and indulge in pre-packaged fare and franchised McRestaurants - stuffing their fat faces with processed pablum.

Langon Foss' art is pitch perfect and he fills each panel with tons of wonderful detail. Meanwhile Bourdain can't help but drop some knowledge, from the Moguro Bocho, Hinoki wood, elvers (which even today can cost 1K per pound), to the ritual of the ortolan.

Nonetheless, here in landlocked Waterloo - I'm still dunking my sushi in soy sauce.
