I grew up in restaurant kitchens and Kitchen Confidential is so brutally accurate to my experience that it was disturbing. I loved that book. I like his show a lot as well.

I agree. I did a lot of kitchen time and some of his stories were dead on. Especially the way he talks about waitrons.

Another fan here. Been watching his show since the begining as have a lot of people. After all Bourdain is nearly single handedly responsible for Travel Channel succeeding in the first place.

+1 to all the Zimmern fans, too. He's great. I always marvel at how well he maintains his dignity and composure while eating scorpions and larva.

Same question as above. :) Thanks!

I've only read "Kitchen Confidential" so I can't compare it to anything else he's written. But i can say it's an excellent read.

A.B rocks, throws PC out the window and is pretty true considering he is on TV.

I love how respectful and interested in people and different cultures he is! Great guy, and great chef...

Just finished reading it, and I agree completely. Fun read, great look into the "secret" society of how they cook.
