by Anthony Bourdain (Author)
A NEW YORK TIMES-BESTSELLING PHENOMENON
"Utterly riveting, swaggering with stylish machismo." -New York magazine Globally beloved chef Anthony Bourdain's bestselling breakout book-an addictively funny, unsparing tell-all about the restaurant business by the Emmy Award-winning host of Parts Unknown and No Reservations. In the now-classic memoir that launched Anthony Bourdain's long career, the globally beloved chef took us through the swinging kitchen doors and turned the culinary trade on its head. The result was a deliciously funny, shocking banquet of wild tales that drew from "twenty-five years of sex, drugs, bad behavior and haute cuisine." Sure to delight gourmands and philistines alike, Bourdain recounts everything from his first oyster in the Gironde to his lowly position as dishwasher in a honky-tonk fish restaurant in Provincetown (where he became hooked on chef work for life); from the stovetops 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, and Kitchen Confidential will make your mouth water and your belly ache with laughter, and leave you wanting more.Author Biography
