Genre: Non-fiction
Rating: 9/10
# pages: 293
Date read: September, 2008
Summary: "There will be horror stories. Heavy drinking, drugs, screwing in the dry-goods area, unappetizing industry-wide practices. Talking about why you probably shouldn't order fish on a Monday, why those who favor well-done get the scrapings from the bottom of the barrel, and why seafood frittata is not a wise brunch selection.... But I'm simply not going to deceive anybody about the life as I've seen it."
Review: Cooking and especially professional gourmet cooking is something I've always found very interesting. I don't know exactly why, seeing as I have no dreams of becoming a chef myself, but it's probably one of the reasons why I liked Ratatouille so much :) I'd heard very mixed reviews of this book, but I was fascinated by it, and loved reading about all the different restaurants Bourdain had worked at, and the varied experiences he's had. However, after reading it I'm more convinced than ever that I should NOT become a chef!
