Part cookbook, part memoir, part travelogue, and wholly original, F*ck, That's Delicious is rapper Action Bronson's comprehensive guide to the food, chefs, food makers, regions, neighborhoods, and restaurants that every food obsessive should know. Organised as a full-colour illustrated guide with 100 entries, the book captures all the foods that get to him



Action Bronson is a rapper, chef, and the television host of Vice's "F*ck, That's Delicious." Born Ariyan Arslani to an American Jewish mother and an Albanian Muslim father, he grew up in Flushing, Queens, one of the most diverse zip codes on earth, and a fantasyland for culinary influences. For ten years after attending culinary school in Manhattan, Action cooked for a living, until he broke his leg at work in the kitchen. During the downtime he started working harder on recording his mix tapes — under the superhero stage name of Action Bronson—and a hobby became a career. Action is now a real rap star—recognized everywhere from the metal bars of Copenhagen to canal-side cafes in Venice—and is signed to Atlantic Records/Vice Music imprint and managed by Shady Records' founder Paul Rosenberg. Action's debut album, "Mr. Wonderful," was released in 2015. Rachel Wharton is an award-winning food writer and editor based in New York City. Formerly the features food writer for the New York Daily News and the deputy editor of Edible Manhattan and Edible Brooklyn, Wharton now freelances for publications such as The New York Times, Saveur, Everyday with Rachael Ray, and the Wall Street Journal. Most recently, Wharton was the co-author of DiPalo's Guide to the Essential Foods of Italy, The Good Fork Cookbook, Back to the Kitchen with Freddie Prinze, Jr., and the illustrated guide Food Anatomy. She also wrote and edited The Edible Brooklyn Cookbook.

Reviews

“This book is a map of the inside of Bronson’s brain. Starting with his version of Proust’s madeleine, the ‘bagel with cheese,’ and then traveling down the THC-intensified paths of desire to include cheap street foods in the five boroughs of NYC to exotica found on his pilgrimages across the planet . . . This magnificent tome is filled with both the recognizable and the perplexing. And, best of all, I can make it at home and so can you. . . . This is a book that is at once a testament to a wild palate, to a man with a gastronomic vision, to a hip-hop artist of the top of the top category, and a student of life with legendary curiosity. Bronson is the Leonardo da Vinci of pop culture’s multi-cosmic, infinitely overstimulated, twenty-first century children of the handheld devices. At the very same moment all this is swirling around in your head, on your tongue, throughout every single muscle of your dancing, jumping being, you realize . . . F*ck!!! This is delicious.”
*Mario Batali*

“F*cking professional musician, entertainer, beloved individual, heralded human, forever chef.”
*Action Bronson*

“If chefs are ‘the new rock stars’ (the Times) and ‘rap is the new rock and roll’ (Kanye West), then the Roger Daltrey of the current moment is a cannonball-shaped thirty-one-year-old rapper from Flushing named Action Bronson.”
*The New Yorker*

“Through his career on VICELAND, Bronson has become one of the internet’s most entertaining food personalities—and his book delivers just as much loud enthusiasm for eating fucking delicious things as his show by the same name.”
*GQ magazine*
