“A recent New York Magazine article painted Everything Is Illuminated writer Jonathan Safran Foer as a "vegetarian polemicist" harboring an ethical grudge against Anthony Bourdain. The story behind that hilarious feud can be found in a chapter entitled "A Case For Eating Dogs" from his latest tome, Eating Animals. The book is Foer's first non-fiction effort; one that's being billed as a broader argument about the ethics of animal rights. Expect that passionate after-dinner dispute tonight from, undisputedly, one of America's greatest literary talents.”
Julian Hooper, Flavorpill
