I respect the writer much more after seeing where he came from and what he went through, though I must say I found him entertaining before reading it.

Very well written, full of very logical and technicial facts from the food industry, a very good and enjoyable read, and just down right funny! My very first full 5 star rating and I just don't give those ratings away.
This is a must read for anyone even remotely interested in the writer (good or bad), ready to eat in a fine food joint (when to order certain foods, when not to, and why), or thinking of working in the kitchen industry. A great tribute from all of us that have gone through it. But only he, it seems, could have put it in the words that he has.
This book is written by Anthony, but could have thousands of other names as the writer. Not how it "should" be, but most of the time how it actually is. If you've ever worked in a kitchen, this is how it really is. He is the executive chef at Brasserie Les Halles in New York City. You'll beg the chef for more, please.Īnthony Bourdain is the author of the novels Bone in the Throat and Gone Bamboo. Kitchen Confidential will make your mouth water while your belly aches with laughter. From his first oyster in the Gironde, to his lowly position as a dishwasher in a honky-tonk fish restaurant in Provincetown, from the kitchen of the Rainbow Room atop Rockefeller Center, to drug dealers in the East Village, from Tokyo to Paris and back to New York again, Bourdain's tales of the kitchen are as passionate as they are unpredictable. Now, the author uses the same "take-no-prisoners" attitude in his deliciously funny and shockingly delectable audiobook, sure to delight gourmands and philistines alike. Recently, The New Yorker published chef Anthony Bourdain's shocking, "Don't Eat Before Reading This." Bourdain spared no one's appetite in this tell-all about what happens behind the kitchen door.
