I find Anthony Bourdain to be incredibly entertaining and Kitchen Confidential doesn't disappoint. Even better, this was an audiobook read by Bourdain himself. I've been a fan of his show No Reservations on the Travel Channel ever since Ryan Ozawa and his wife Jen clued me in via their podcast HawaiiUp.
This book is a autobiography of his crazy life working his way up the culinary world. It's filled with his insights into the seedier side of cooking culture. Also it makes for a good education in what it takes to survive the heat of the kitchen.
His language can make a sailor blush at times, but I recommend it to anyone who thinks they can stomach it... and watch his show too!
