Kitchen Confidential, Insider's Edition: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly
It's quite an adventure in reading too. Drugs, food and rock&roll. Anthony Bourdain doesn't hold back much and it's interesting to see how some kitchen operate in the very tough universe. A place where everything is about having some balls and guts. Of course, not every chef is a maniac like Bourdain and he acknowledges that. I liked the rhythm and tone of the book and the focus on the food, the restaurant business and not the private life Bourdain outside the restaurant. I didn't want to know about his struggle with drugs, his marriage etc. So overall a good account of some of what goes on in the kitchen of restaurant. I watched the few episodes of the TV series based on this book last year and enjoyed it. Looking forward to the series on DVD. I'm gonna enjoy Steven's character even more.
