    Synopsis
    An updated and revised edition of Anthony Bourdain's mega-bestselling Kitchen Confidential, with new material from the original edition Almost two decades ago, the New Yorker published a now infamous article, "Don't Eat before You Read This," by then little-known chef Anthony Bourdain. Bourdain spared no one's appetite as he revealed what happens behind the kitchen door. The article was a sensation, and the book it spawned, the now classic Kitchen Confidential , became an even bigger sensation, a megabestseller with over one million copies in print. Frankly confessional, addictively acerbic, and utterly unsparing, Bourdain pulls no punches in this memoir of his years in the restaurant business. Fans will love to return to this deliciously funny, delectably shocking banquet of wild-but-true tales of life in the culinary trade from Chef Anthony Bourdain, laying out his more than a quarter-century of drugs, sex, and haute cuisine--this time with never-before-published material., The updated edition of the wickedly funny and insightful bestseller filled with "25 years of sex, drugs, bad behavior, and haute cuisine," now includes three new chapters about the author's adventures since the book was originally published., An updated and revised edition of Anthony Bourdain's mega-bestselling Kitchen Confidential, with new material from the original edition Almost two decades ago, the New Yorker published a now infamous article, "Don't Eat before You Read This," by then little-known chef Anthony Bourdain.

      Came exactly as described. I like this merchant because the price and shipping where not unrealistic. After receiving I washed it and the label came off and it was wonderful. My collection was started by my parents. I had a blue one but it buckled on a cold day and so it was fun to replace a missing piece. It's not Easter until I put them out. The kids remind me if I am late. I miss my parents , but a great reminder to enjoy the simple things. Thank you!

      As relevant now as it was 18 years ago- funny a hell.

      IT is tragic that we have lost the eclectic personality known as " Tony " to his friends. His acerbic wit will be missed. Having worked in kitchens in the same era as Tony made this book a MUST READ- I enjoyed it immensely and laughed throughout the entire book. I could not put it down. Pretty amazing since the book is 18 years old. It is relevant today and will be for years to come. Great read- and RIP Tony. (:

    • A wonderful book to read since we all have an intimate relationship with food.

      Bourdain starts out by introducing you to food, how he got to know it and why it’s something more than “a substance one stuffs in one’s face when hungry — like filling up at a gas station.” He goes through his early relationship with food and why he made the jump from a kid who was surprised by a cold soup like Vichyssoise to a food-obsessed student at the Culinary Institute of America. The text skips over entire years in Bourdain’s life with ease, but you don’t notice. He focuses on the food, the good food as he puts it — everything else falls into place around it.

    • Great story,but no photos or glossary was a disapointment.

      Great story,fast and interesting read....would of given 5 stars except think it could of been better if they included a middle section with some photos....and since there are a lot of words a non-chief wouldnt have a clue as to what they are,would of been nice to have a glossary in the back.
