Get Jiro: Blood and Sushi by Joel Rose, Anthony Bourdain, Alé Garza
1.0
What use is a prequel if it reflects nearly nothing onto its partner story? "Jiro used to be involved with a gang and cared about food preparation even before he was a chef," okay.
What use is artwork that continuously obscures faces, figures, and backgrounds in service to padding out a featherweight script? I had this marked as 2-star for a while, but when asked what this book had going for it, I had nothing to say. The colors aren't bad? That's not even a compliment, just an acknowledgement that, yes, the book is in color. Appreciate the unique dish that was "Get Jiro" and forget this California Roll cash-in.
