Although I cannot cook for the life of, unless you count Mac n' Cheese, I still love watching Food Network & Travel Channel's cooking related shows, hence the reason I wanted to read this book.

My knowledge of Anthony Bourdain was pretty limited prior to reading this book. I had seen him on TV numerous times and always liked him and after reading this book, nothing has changed.

Anthony goes in detail on his start in the industry and how he has moved his way up. None of it was easy, but he sure has some great stories to tell and interesting tidbits about some of the people, some unscrupulous, people met along the way.

The author holds nothing back. He gives very detailed information about the food he cooks making it seem like you can smell and taste it in front of you. The stories make you laugh and feel like you are in the kitchen with him and his comrades. A very well paced and entertaining book.

I highly recommend it.
