Kitchen Confidential

I was already familiar with Anthony Bourdain from his Food Network show, A Cook's Tour, before I picked up Kitchen Confidential. I knew that he was a bit of a wild-card, bad boy kinda guy. And, seeing the praise that had been heaped on the book, I was excited to read about some of his tales from the kitchen. However, I was not prepared for the fantastic prose and storytelling that awaited me in this book. Bourdain is now one of my favorite writers in any genre and cannot be beat when it comes to the art of food writing. This is a fantastic book that deserves to be read by all.
