I.B. K. (Ostkind) reviewed on 2/25/2006 + 146 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 2

While illuminating about what goes in restaurant kitchens, I can't help but question as to how representative Mr. Bourdain's experiences are outside of New York city. I don't think we even have Ecuadorians in Michigan, let alone this level of drug use, etc. Nevertheless I did learn quite a bit and even found parts entertaining. (Cut the chapter about the Japan visit; too much gushing and not informative.)
