Kitchen Confidential
Categories: Cookbooks, Food & Wine
Chef Anthony Bourdain tells the story of his twenty-five years in professional kitchens, from washing dishes in a Provincetown seafood restaurant to running the kitchen at the New York brasserie Les Halles. Bourdain describes the drugs, sex, bad behavior and hard work behind restaurant doors, and offers advice on what to order and what to avoid when eating out. Expanded from a 1999 New Yorker essay and published in 2000, the book made Bourdain famous.
