Review by: MandyApgar
Bourdain, a
caustic New Yorker with a penchant for drugs and cigarettes, begins
working his way up the culinary ladder and soon realizes that folks
would almost never eat out if they knew how restaurants
really operated. A chronicle of the odd events (co-workers threatening
each other with cleavers, fights, etc) and useful information (never
order fish later in the week as it only arrives on one day) he has lived
through. Very observational and self referencing,
it is also a joint biography of sorts with Bourdain's life serving as a
backdrop. The book created quite a stir when it came out and served as
the inspiration to hire Bourdain for his No Reservations show. Very
wonderful, completely profane, and utterly him.
All good.
