About this listen
Recently, The New Yorker published chef Anthony Bourdain's shocking, "Don't Eat Before Reading This." Bourdain spared no one's appetite in this tell-all about what happens behind the kitchen door.
Now, the author uses the same "take-no-prisoners" attitude in his deliciously funny and shockingly delectable audiobook, sure to delight gourmands and philistines alike. From his first oyster in the Gironde, to his lowly position as a dishwasher in a honky-tonk fish restaurant in Provincetown, from the kitchen of the Rainbow Room atop Rockefeller Center, to drug dealers in the East Village, from Tokyo to Paris and back to New York again, Bourdain's tales of the kitchen are as passionate as they are unpredictable.
Kitchen Confidential will make your mouth water while your belly aches with laughter. You'll beg the chef for more, please.
Anthony Bourdain is the author of the novels Bone in the Throat and Gone Bamboo. This is his first work of nonfiction. He is the executive chef at Brasserie Les Halles in New York City.

Excellent Listen
A captivating listen. It was such an honest and interesting story/biography. The fact that Anthony Bourdain narrated it made the book that much better. So tragic to have lost this man.

One Of The Best
This has to be one of my top favourite books of all time. Bourdain's candid, darkly-humoured, no-holds-barred look at the life of professional cooking captures your attention right out of the gate. Whether you're a seasoned veteran of, considering entering, or have no interest at all in setting foot in a professional kitchen, Bourdain's talented storytelling will leave you entertained and hungry for more, pun semi-intended.
You left us too soon, Tony. At least this is one way of keeping you part of my life forever. Goodnight, my restless spirited, ever-curious friend... #Audible1

wonderful to hear the details of his career
I worked front of house for years and this book brought me right back to those days. I loved this book and wish Anthony Bourdain was still here to continue to entertain us. So worth the read.

A must read for anyone
He pulls you in within the first 2 minutes. Ended up listening for 2 hours straight before I could hit pause. An addicting read, filled with crazy stories, knowledge, and raw truth. I worked in the industry only as a server but it was still so relatable.
