In a not-too-distant future of food-obsessed L.A., where master chefs rule the
town like crime lords and people literally kill for a seat at the best
restaurant, Jiro, a renegade and ruthless sushi chef arrives in town with
strong ideas of his own. It's a bloody culinary war of epic proportions, and in
the end, no chef may be left alive!

Acclaimed chef, writer, and television personality, Anthony Bourdain, and Joel
Rose (Kill The Poor) return for the follow-up to their #1 New York Times
bestseller, GET JIRO!, from Vertigo. In GET JIRO: BLOOD AND SUSHI, Bourdain and
Rose examine the origins of the mysterious Jiro and what made him into the chef
he has become.
Born the heir to a Yakuza crime family, Jiro never longed to travel the
criminal path laid out before him, but instead chose to secretly study the rich
culinary history of his homeland - something that would have significant
repercussions if discovered by his gangster father! And as Jiro's interest in
the culinary arts deepens, the challenge of keeping his artistic and criminal
worlds separate becomes too great, triggering a great personal loss that will
forever change Jiro's path.
