5 Stars A Must Read
Kitchen Confidential is a must read for anyone who has ever set foot in the backrooms of a restaurant. Bourdain captures the environment with all its stresses, off-colored language and cooking pride. Kitchen Confidential reads similar to a feature on VH1’s Behind the Music as Bourdain battles with his own demons and finds success after many years of debauchery. I have been a fan of Bourdain’s No Reservation on the Travel Channel for quite awhile and now as an author. The book lead me to another Bourdain project called the Les Halles Cookbook which has inspired me to spend more time in the favorite room of my house, the kitchen. Thank you, Tony!
5 Stars Brings Back Memories
It has been over 20 years since I worked in the restaurant business, but reading Bourdain’s book brought back a lot of memories of what the business and the many characters who inhabit it are like. I found Bourdain’s book to be very entertaining and reflects much of what I remember about the world of food preparation and service. Bourdain’s management style is quite different from my own and I am not sure that I would want to work for the guy, (or have him work for me), but he is a great writer and accurately depicts the life in the biz.
5 Stars Oh the Memories!
I love how Anthony Bourdain can add sophistication to the grueling and raw life hidden behind the walls of our favorite resurtants. I worked in a kitchen growing up and it’s amazing how universal some of his stories and lessons truely are! I LOVED IT!
