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.
