Anthony i don’t know if u will read this but, as a fellow chef and having many fellow chefs talk about Kitchen Confidential i had to get myself a copy and read it.(i also think it is a sin for any chef not to own a copy of this, or at least having read it) I must say during my schooling years i have never read any book that i enjoyed so much, could not put it down unless my eyes closed from all the long hours, every page excited me so much, maybe because i can relate to it so much but i LOVE LOVE LOVE IT, i could probably go on and on but i wont because you probably have heard so much over the years, BUT i have to say one thing about Nasty Bits…”SYSTEM D” wow this i understand and feel it all the way, i used to wonder if there was an explanation for these habits and extremities i have that many others think im a freak or what ever else… i was so relived to read this section, brought the biggest smile to my face THANK YOU…. on that note, i have had one chef say to me “your service fridge is like NARNIA” 2 door. 2 shelves but i pull out so many things that amazes them all…

I stole this book from a friend of mine while he was off working the sound boards for his latest band. It has been the perfect read for me as I hang out in the small village of Garching, Germany. I can sit out in the park and as I read the book it is amazing to me that I can actually hear him speaking the text. I find myself laughing out loud and wishing to God this man needed some poor, unexperienced person to travel the world with. Just one trip wish him I think would be more than enough excitement for a life time.

AT LAST……..something that made me love to read more of what goes on inside the literary mind and Chef of the great “Tony”.
I have never laughed so much in one day as I did today. I am only into a third of the book and I cannot put it down. What can a I do to sit beside you and have a great meal (without the coffee on my filet mignon) topped off with a wonderful bubbly and creme brule ?
Your books get better like fine wine. And as much as I loved Kitchen Condidential, this little baby will make its Mark in the minds of food lovers and bookworms who in the end will find themselves thriving for more tales of the culinary world of Mr. Tony Bourdain and in the end will still find themselves ……………starving for more !
I await your invitation !
Many Regards,
Catherine Henry
Just one day, Make my Day !?

I believe Mr. Bourdain MUST be related to Victor Mature. He looks SO much like him and is also a very handsome fellow, as was Mr. Mature. I love to watch his show. It is so interesting knowing how he feels about the people he meets in his travels and the compassion he shows for different cultures and lifestyles. Keep up the good work, Anthony!!!!!
