Damn Good Food
Jacques Pépin, who has cooked for 7 French Presidents, spent countless hours on PBS TV with Julia Child, and chose Mitch Omer to guide him on morel hunts and help him with cooking demonstrations , says this about Omer’s new cookbook:

"Mitch Omer's life makes Anthony Bourdain's look like he was an altar boy. Mitch's individualistic, personal, and idiosyncratic cooking is that of a man who is larger than life, big-hearted, generous, and wild. It's evident that he genuinely loves life and nature."

Cynthia Gerdes (Mitch’s wife and handler), pipes in with this:“Damn Good Food is the cookbook Mitch has worked on for over 11 years. But it’s not just a cookbook; it also follows the trials (some literally) about his wild bi-polar life as well as every single recipe from Hell’s Kitchen. Nothing held back…god knows I tried…this is the whole enchilada with over 200 recipes and way too much information about our personal lives.
