Food, in this context, is more than food: It is a metaphor for life.\" From his legendary Smart and Esquire columns, to present-day pieces including a correspondence with French gourmet Gerard Oberle, fabulous pieces on food in France and America for Men's Journal, and a paean to the humble meatball, \u003ci\u003eThe Raw and the Cooked\u003c\/i\u003e is a nine-course meal that will satisfy every appetite.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Our 'poet laureate of appetite' [Harrison] may be, but the collected essays here reflect much more.\" — John Gamino, \u003ci\u003eThe Dallas Morning News\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"[A] culinary combo plate of Hunter S.
