If you consider yourself a true blooded foodie, or work in the culinary arts industry chances are you have came across the name Anthony Bourdain, and if you haven't then it is time to get your head out of your ass. Kitchen Confidential written by Anthony Bourdain takes the reader on a crazy ride of how this raw talented chef came to be. What I admire the most about Kitchen Confidential and Anthony Bourdain is there is not candy coating the truths behind his success or his dark side on his personal demons. In fact throughout the book, the reader is drawn in by Anthony Bourdains trials and errors in life, learning the hard way, all the way, and you will no doubt drop your jaw a few times by his bar none attitude. The guy tells it like he sees it, yet he has done this throughout his career well before the public gave a shit about what he thought. This is not the only reason why I dig this book, as a chef I silently nod and laugh out loud simultaneously at Mr. Bourdain's hard knocked adventures both in and out of the kitchen, for I can share the same incidences. I think if one wants to realize how hard this profession is to succeed in and understand that no pussies are allowed in this industry, I definitely suggest that you read Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain, even if you not a foodie, you are still in for a crazy read.
As for some who feel this guy is a sell out because he chose to appear on TV, well let me ask you this, how many people do you now that would eat pig snout encrusted with fecal bacteria? I can name about 20 other chef's or that there the likes of that have "sold out". I strongly doubt Anthony Bourdain is going to put his mug shot on box of Ritz anytime soon
