Amazon Customer said 10/10 career chefs should read.. This book is fantastic. I've been looking for something that explains how I should work as a line cook and this book exceeded my expectations.

First off I have to sayI love this man! Bourdain's book is arrogant, crude, bullying, and egotistical and I loved every word, every line, every put-down, and every cuss word!

CIA-trained Bourdain, currently the executive chef of the celebrated Les Halles, wrote two culinary mysteries before his first (and infamous) New Yorker essay launched this frank confessional about the lusty and larcenous real lives of cooks and restaurateurs.
