For years I&#8217;ve occasionally watchined <a href=\"http:\/\/www.anthonybourdain.net\/\">Anthony Bourdain<\/a> on his &#8220;No Reservations&#8221; show on the Food Network. He always seemed like a ready for anything, at ease guy as he goes around the world eating chopped lamb brains from street vendors and other adventuresome cuisine. He looks like a guy who smokes and drinks too much and stays up too late and probably doesn&#8217;t read his Bible every day. He also seems like a guy who can tell some good stories.<\/p>\n<p>Kitchen Confidential came out ten years ago and is still in print in this 2007 updated edition. It is Bourdain&#8217;s description of his career as a cook and chef and many observations on the restaurant industry. The man can write. It is one of those books where you start reading it and you can&#8217;t stop. He says he wrote the book for the guys who work in restaurants. He tells a lot of stories about working in restaurants. I am sure that some of the stories are actually true. They are all entertaining.<\/p>\n<p>I rate the book 4 stars out of 5 it is a darn good read.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I picked this book up in a bookstore a couple weeks ago.
