First to recommend

The book that launched Anthony Bourdain into fame. It's a little over-the-top machismo, but a fun romp in the kitchen nevertheless.

i always sort of figured that drug abuse, alcoholism, and cooking went somewhat hand in hand--fascination with anything that tactile and sensational lends itself to all sorts of habits.

anyway, bourdain sounds a lot like the chefs i've known. i always thought he probably made himself out to be a bit more of a badass than he really was, but i can live with that.

interesting, funny and occasionally insightful book from a guy whose identity is pretty solidly defined by the word 'provocateur.'

Chef Bourdain writes about food and cooking as it were sex: passionate but rough and nasty.

i have a crush on tony bourdain like a MySpaceCadet has a crush on justin timberlake. oh wait, i like mr. jt, too.

tony bourdain's writing is sharp. i read kitchen confidential in one day.

BUT FOR MENU FOR HOPE, YOU GET ALL FOUR OF HIS BOOKS, SIGNED BY TONY BOURDAIN HIMSELF. *swoon* (via Cha Xiu Bao)
