Criticism Out Of Books Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly

Oh boy. Where to begin? I found this book - and by extension Anthony Bourdain - somewhat distasteful. On the surface, it works. Bourdain promises to take you behind the scenes of the restaurant industry, which he certainly does - it's just that he only takes you to very specific restaurant environments that he has worked in and has directly helped shape, a revelation that he only gets to almost three-quarters of the way through the book. All kitchens are messy morasses of machismo, he says, and

I reread Kitchen Confidential in memory of Anthony Bourdain. I still can't believe he's gone.I enjoyed the book and smiled at Anthony's brash-yet-loveable style. Plus, it reminded me of my baby brother, who is also a chef. Highly recommended for restaurant workers and foodie fans.

I had thought a book about food can never possibly be so boring and disgusting. But Anthony Bourdain's personality permeates throughout the book and put me off completely. Bourdain appears to have had a decent enough childhood and his chapter about discovering good food in France was nice. But the rest of it was just him being a dickhead. It is no surprise that most

I love food and I love hot sexy chefs with potty mouths.I remember first discovering Anthony Bourdain on the Food Network many years ago. It was 3am and I was unable to sleep and here was this brooding, hot piece of ass chain smoking and touring Russia. I never remembered his name but he haunted my dreams until I re-discovered him years later on the Travel Channel show, No Reservations. In Kitchen Confidential, he is able to translate his sultry self onto paper. But he is not just a piece of
