Bourdain presents a fascinating glimpse into the world of cooking, as seen through the filter of his own experience. He is perfectly candid about the fact that the pirate ship like working atmosphere he has experienced full of drugs, sex, testosterone, and booze is likely a reflection of his own personality. He goes to such pains to "keep it real" that he even provides a glimpse into the operations of chefs other than himself, whom he freely admits are more talented and successful than him. All the while, the reader has the pleasure of enjoying the ever witty, sarcastic, and brutally honest company of Bourdain as he strolls down memory lane and creates his portrayal of the culinary industry. |
