Interesting overview of how Bourdain got started cooking, and his advancement in the chef trade. Narrated by the author, it's darkly funny and compelling.

I wouldn't have read this if Book Club hadn't selected it. I've never seen his shows, and I don't know anything about him, but he was interesting. He is loud and honest. Pretty cool.

The "day in the life" chapter felt like that one episode of The Bear.

The "raped" sentence wouldn't fly today tho lol.

Blunt, with an appreciation for food that is probably predictable to most but beautiful to hear.

bourdain’s witty storytelling made me laugh out loud and smile. i enjoyed the first half more than the second. i wish the timeline of events was clearer, and i became fatigued by the long descriptions of other characters and lists of dishes i don’t know,  but i really enjoyed this book. if you like bourdain and/or the world of cooking, it’s worth a read.
