Living, traveling, and eating in some of the most far-flung locations around the world, he developed an eclectic palate and a nuanced understanding of cultures and cuisines that led to some revelations which would prove important in his future career as a food critic. In Tokyo, for instance-\"a kind of paradise for nose-to-tail cooking\"-he learned that \"if you're interested in telling a story, a hair-raisingly bad meal is much better than a good one.\"\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom dim sum in Hong Kong to giant platters of Peking duck in Beijing, fresh-baked croissants in Paris and pierogi on the snowy streets of Moscow, Platt takes us around the world, re-tracing the steps of a unique, and lifelong, culinary education.
