FOOD JUNKIE is a dark, feverish, and absolutely breathtaking journey right into the heart of the universe of food and gastronomy.

We get to follow the author's passionate and manic search for the world's best food experiences – from steaming street food stalls in Bangkok to five-star restaurants in NYC. Restlessly driving around the world, Mons Kallentoft talks about the dishes, drinks, restaurants, people and tastes that make him spend millions of Swedish crowns and give up almost everything in search of the ultimate taste sensation.

In FOOD JUNKIE, gastronomy is life and death – a means of escape, but also an opportunity to seek out the truth about oneself. Via the way around the mouth and stomach, the story becomes a gripping love story, a story about surviving; trying to find a home in the world, and a way to live on, despite the dark undercurrents of life.

FOOD JUNKIE is also a tribute to the people who work at all the taverns around the globe. Nothing like this has ever been written about gastronomy. Anyone who wants to go into the gastronomic world’s secret back room, or is looking for a complete guide to the world's most advanced cuisine, need not look any further.
