After twenty-five years of 'sex, drugs, bad behaviour and haute cuisine', chef and novelist Anthony Bourdain has decided to tell all. From his first oyster in the Gironde to his lowly position as a dishwasher in a honky-tonk fish restaurant in Provincetown; from the kitchen of the Rainbow Room atop the Rockefeller Center to drug dealers in the East Village, from Tokyo to Paris and back to New York again, Bourdain's tales of the kitchen are as passionate as they are unpredictable, as shocking as they are funny.

Impressions

    Я понимаю, почему эта книга стала бесселлером. Для людей не из индустрии она читается, как захватывающий триллер. Для людей из индустрии — как в зеркало посмотреть. Да, многое устарело, да, что-то слишком сентиментально или слишком наиграно. Но это честный, иногда очень смешной, иногда грустный рассказ о тяжелой работе, которая мало кому кажется тяжелой.

    Fantastisk. Humoristisk, ærlig og nådesløs!

    I'll be right here. Until they drag me off the line. I'm not going anywhere. I hope. It's been an adventure. We took some casualtiesover over the years. Things got broken. Things got lost.

    But I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
  • Anahas quotedlast year
    A few months back, in a moment of admittedly misguided solidarity with my heavily decorated kitchen crew, I got a tattoo, a reasonably tasteful headhunter's band around my upper arm. Nancy, however, was on record as finding skin art about as attractive as ringworm; she took it, not unreasonably, as a personal affront. She was mightily pissed off, and still is, for that matter . . . but she still wakes up next to me every morning, laughs at my jokes on occasion, and helpfully points out when I'm being an asshole.
