Reading this just reminded me of how much I miss his unique voice.

Also, don’t order the fish on Mondays.

Anthony Bourdain describes the gritty experiences he had working in the food industry. His writing style is vivid and startling, and really sets the scene in the restaurant work Bourdain did in his lifetime. It was an interesting read, and I highly recommend checking out the deluxe edition because of his hand-written notes. Content warnings for crude content and language, sexual content, and other Bourdain-esque content.

emotional funny fast-paced

4.0

This book is hard to reckon with because it really does glorify some of the toxic aspects of restaurant culture, but it's so damn engaging. I can't deny that I had a great time reading, and felt so much recognition (and also pride at how some things in some places have progressed) as a food service worker myself. Highly recommend listening to the audiobook, which is narrated by Bourdain, for the full experience.
