As for the book itself, I definitely think this is a case of "ignorance is bliss." I think I could have went my whole life without knowing some of the things he mentioned in this book. All in all, though, awesome read. ( ) I’m a huge, HUGE Anthony Bourdain fan. I thought No Reservations was absolutely brilliant, and I was an admirer of his writing style long before I ever actually read one of his books. Kitchen Confidential was the first book of his I’ve picked up, but it certainly won’t be the last. His voice in this book - which is now a decade and a half old - is just as authentic, revealing, and no-nonsense as it is in No Reservations or any other show he’s ever been on. The book is written in essay format. Sometimes the essays don’t flow well from one to another, but I didn’t have a huge problem with that. I wasn’t looking for a chronological account of his life story, although for the most part, that’s exactly what this was. I enjoyed feeling like a voyeur in the many, many kitchens in which Anthony has worked. I appreciated his blunt style, his incredibly keen observations, and the fact that he held nothing back when sharing his opinions of the business, his coworkers, or his bosses. Not the first or the last time I'll read this. But hands down, the most haunting. Sure am going to miss that man. I'll never forget the first time I read this and spit vodka out of my nose when he started talking about scoring dope and banging waitresses. What a raw and refreshing take on food writing! Absolutely recommend you give this one a read, if you've somehow been hiding in a deep dark hole for the last decade. This is a repetitious, self-indulgent monologue from a narrowly developed person. The writing was entertaining for the first few pages, but to use his own over-used analogy, Bourdain is just stuck living out his childhood fantasy of being a pirate captain on a pirate ship. Jacques Pepin's book [b:The Apprentice: My Life in the Kitchen|343684|The Apprentice My Life in the Kitchen|Jacques Pépin|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173907002s/343684.jpg|526117] covers the same domain, profiles the same characters and more, and is much more interesting both in terms of stories of cooking, professional chefs, etc.
This is one bitter, nasty, searing, hard-to-swallow piece of work. But if you can choke the thing down, youll (sic) probably wake up grinning in the middle of the night. Bourdain is a force of unruly nature, a lifelong misanthrope and currently the executive chef at the Brasserie Les Halles, whose clientele, now that this book is out, must be accounted among the more courageous diners in New York.
