Kitchen Confidential reviewSep 01, 2010
I really enjoyed getting to know Bourdain a little more in this book. I love his travel shows and his take on different customs, food, people. I get a kick out of his no nonsense opinions and how he states them. I learned a few things about kitchen ware and have new appreciation for chefs, cooks and all the work it takes to run restaurants.

Introduction to a work ethicAug 23, 2010
Mr. Bourdain's story of not only his life but his opinion of the kitchen subculture was enlightening for his opinion of the behind-the-scenes cooks life but mostly for the point of view of working for personal satisfaction and not just for a buck. The chapters which described working all hours necessary, never being late, and doing things that may not be your job for the business really sunk in for me. The idea of thinking of yourself as a warrior in your life and doing your best no matter what is hard one to visualize but is portrayed over and over again kitchen confidential.
I enjoyed the stories, descriptions, and insights in the book a lot and will probably read it again but really what sunk in for me was the truly inspiring work ethic. If you want to know what doing your absolute best and putting in your all looks like, read this book.

One part saltAug 22, 2010
Enjoyable peek into Bourdain's entry into the work of chefs. I really liked his unfiltered eye on behind the scenes of restaurant relationships and personalities. He does not spare himself either. Contains salty language, but it just paints Bourdain's character that much brighter.
A recommended read for any person who considers himself or herself a foodie.
