Kitchen Confidential (New Trade) by Anthony Bourdain

2007, Trade.

New.

Aptly described by Eater as Bourdain’s “breakout superstar kitchen renegade memoir,” this was the book that landed the chef on shelves around the country. Inspired by George Orwell’s Down and Out in Paris and London and exhausted by the toxic and consuming underbelly of the restaurant industry, he used for the first time the thing that would make him more famous than his food - his voice.
