I haven't seen it but found some reviews:

The New York Times
The equivalent of Pokemon for adults [and] the newest cult hit on television.

Time
A game show that makes 'Survivor' look like 'Hollywood Squares'.

The Miami Herald
A mix between Godzilla, wrestling, and Julia Child. Yes, it's that strange. And that entertaining.

and the table of contents from Barnes & Noble
here

I leafed through it, not very interesting at all. They mainly re-cap all the battles and so forth. I was expecting a deep view and outlook on asian cuisine etc...
