Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly by Anthony Bourdain
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Mr. Bourdain is a wonderful writer, but, hoo boy, did I learn some new vocabulary! Not the kind of vocabulary I can use on the fifth-graders, either.
Anyway, this is a memoir of Mr. Bourdain's career as a cook in NYC. His description of that life is remarkable, but what I loved were his reflections on his vocation and his self-description as a fatherly Machiavelli in the kitchen.
