Kitchen Confidential Deluxe Edition: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly

One big feast of a book.Even more delicious with Anthony Bourdain going back to his masterpiece & editing himself- dropping bombs all over the pages- newly printed as he did it- with notes, new introduction & his signature chef knife doodle all in black sharpie. Anthony Bourdain has always been 'that' cool guy at all the cool parties inviting us in, handing us a beer, showing us around, engaging in good conversation. He has invited us back handing out this party gift- a swag bag of Bourdain goodies! It's bittersweet bit always, always cool. Thank you Tony.Thank you to the publisher. Thank you Amazon.

Absolutely love this book, my English teacher told us to get this book which I thought was going to be boring but it turned out to be one of the most interesting books ever! It does not only talk about cuisine but the Bourdain's story behind it.

Great book. Easy to read or listen to. Not only was it entertaining, but also very educational. Bourdain writes like he talks.

Tony's writing is so inviting. You can hear his voice as you are reading. Completely true as restaurants are run and a must read so the ignorant (most everyone) know some of the tricks from behind the scenes. I will never eat Hollandaise sauce at a restaurant EVER again. No fish on Monday's unless I know the chef, Sunday Brunch, well I know how to handle this and "Specials", I've always known where these foods come from. It's a fun read, a lifelong story with great facts everyone should know.

It's not too late to read this bestseller from 20 years ago. AB through TV on CNN has proven himself not just quite the character, but an interesting observer of countries, events, and peoples in our current world. The surprise is he too was a very good writer, entertaining as well. Kitchen Confidential is a good read. I continue to miss him.

It is a shame that we lost such a talented chef, writer, and tour guide. The book is very interesting, and funny in several parts. This addition has handwritten notes by A. Bourdine in the margins that are a great plus. If you enjoy cooking, restaurants, and clever stories, this is a book you need to read!

An easy read with great story telling - and it just might turn you off to certain restaurants once you learn what goes on. Loved this edition that’s peppered with personal comments from Bourdain in the margins. I am giving my copy to a friend who works in an eatery and loves Anthony. If you are a foodie or just loved Anthony - a must read.

anthony bourdain is a great story teller. this is a no holds barred book about himself becoming a chief. just a great read

If you're a fan of Anthony Bourdain, then reading this after youve seen all his shows is actually probably better. You can really see what shaped him, gave him his attitude, his view on the world and of cooking. Many of the stories you will probably have heard reference to in his shows, but the book that made him famous really gives a holistic view of his life before television.

I have read this book when it was first released and it is every bit as fantastic as you've been told.However this new updated version is very poorly produced - the pages haven't been cut properly, the paper is thin and the whole thing looks like it has been rushed through production without due care and attention.

If you like cooking or you are a chef you must read this book it's just amazing and really easy to read very interesting!

Always loved this chefHis life in these great and not so great kitchens was so enjoyable and sometimes jaw dropping to read!
