Kitchen Confidential

Kitchen Confidential - Anthony Bourdain. An older book, but not without relevance. He keeps popping up in my viewing, so i decided to actually read the book. A terrific read, hilarious look at breaking into the gourmet restaurant biz, and the development of a true restauranter. I liked it as much as Bruford's Heat.

Another plug while on the subject for Food and Wine magazine. Again, I picked up a copy in regards to a top chef mention. A great magazine. good recipies, great reviews. a little more accesable for me than cook's illustrated (to which David subscribes and reads avidly).
