What can I say about this? Anthony Bourdain was a legend and it was devastating to hear about his loss a few years back. I've enjoyed watching his Travel Channel show so I looked forward to listening to this audio. Sadly, I did not enjoy it as much.
Anthony Bourdain recounted how he came into the culinary world and described his experiences in working in different restaurants. Some of his anecdotes were entertaining to listen to, such as the portion about his Latino workers in the kitchen. I also got to learn a few things, such as when it was the best time to eat seafood in a restaurant. However, much of the time I felt that he was listing things instead of telling a story. I found myself zooming out on these parts, which happened often.
I really wanted to like this audiobook, especially since it was narrated by Anthony himself, but well...it was not by cup-of-tea. I did enjoy some of the tales and I did learn a few things, but overall it was...eh.
