Description
Anthony Bourdain's legendary, profane, and completely irresistible memoir of his years in professional kitchens—from dishwasher through line cook to chef—is one of the greatest works of food writing ever produced: a book that transformed how the world understood the restaurant industry and made its author, posthumously, one of the most beloved figures in the entire culture of food. Written with the honesty, the swagger, and the genuine literary talent of someone who understood that the kitchen was one of the last genuinely human workplaces, this is essential reading for every food lover and every person who has ever wondered what actually happens before the plate arrives. A masterpiece.
