Excellent if you want to know about a chef careet
The first half of the book was more about him and his experiences. The second half was about the restaurant business. Excellent book to get to know Anthony. A must read if you want to pursue a career in the restaurant industry.

the way it was, it's not as crazy as it used to be
Debauchery; in the 70's, 80's and well into the 90's the antics and soul mutilation described in this book were a lot more common. you can't live like that forever but it's still a pirate ship. A new generation of chefs have brought a new level of respectability (or intolerance) to the line....

Fascinating look into the culinary world
I've heard numerous things about this book, so I had to check it out for myself. Part of the book is about Bourdain's own life, his adventures, trials, and tribulations becoming a head chef. Woven in are bits and pieces of information about what the restaurant industry really is like. Bourdain...

A Good Lunch Break Reader
The good:If you're a fan of No Reservations you'll find the writing in this book to be refreshingly similar to the narrative style in the author's show.The stories are very engrossing. This book is what some would call "a real page turner."You get to hear a lot about the seedy back areas of...

Portrait of the Artist as a Young Junkie
For a chef, Anthony Bourdain is a pretty damn good writer. His style is smooth and conversational, peppered with lots of smart and subtle pop culture references. This narrative tale is neither cautionary nor told with regret, it is simply the story of a guy who worked hard, played hard, made lots...

Make your reservations!
When I started reading this, I was sort of annoyed because I kept hearing Anthony B's voice/over voice he uses in his show, No Reservations. However, I stuck with it and am so glad I did. This has so much information about the underworld of the restaurant biz that I was astounded--that goes on...

Entertaining and insightful
I bought this book as I am considering the mid-life career change that seems to be a trend lately. I wanted to know the `inside story' that would balance the glamorous celebrity chef perception that is upon us. I wanted to know if spending between $40K and $100K to learn how to cook...

Kitchen Confidential
Even knowing what I'm reading, it's hard to look at this book as an autobiography because the story told plays so well as a rather fascinating piece of fictional literature about a boy whose irreverent attitude brings him, if a little indirectly, to the world of professional cooking.Reading this...

Bourdain is Brilliant
I loved this book. "Adventure" is an apt description. Bourdain is bold -- arrogant about his successes and humble about his blunders. He has a great vocabulary. He is a great storyteller. He understands money, food and people -- and relishes their dysfunctions. the book should be required...

A Culinary Gem
Everyone who eats should read this book. Everyone who cooks should read this book. Yes, everyone should read this book. It's one of the rare handful of books I go back to again and again, and it's got the best description of eating an oyster ever published in the English language. Bourdain pulls...
