Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain

Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain

An updated and revised edition of Anthony Bourdain's mega-bestselling Kitchen Confidential, with new material from the original edition

Almost two decades ago, the New Yorker published a now infamous article, "Don't Eat before You Read This," by then little-known chef Anthony Bourdain. Bourdain spared no one's appetite as he revealed what happens behind the kitchen door. The article was a sensation, and the book it spawned, the now classic Kitchen Confidential, became an even bigger sensation, a megabestseller with over one million copies in print. Frankly confessional, addictively acerbic, and utterly unsparing, Bourdain pulls no punches in this memoir of his years in the restaurant business.

Fans will love to return to this deliciously funny, delectably shocking banquet of wild-but-true tales of life in the culinary trade from Chef Anthony Bourdain, laying out his more than a quarter-century of drugs, sex, and haute cuisine--this time with never-before-published material.

Anthony Bourdain was the author of the New York Times bestsellers Kitchen Confidential, Medium Raw, and Appetites, as well as the novels Bone in the Throat and Gone Bamboo, the biography A Cook's Tour, and the memoir A Cook's Tour. The New York Times and The New Yorker published his writing. He was the host of No Reservations and Parts Unknown, two successful television programmes. Bourdain passed away in June of this year.
