dark reflective sad fast-paced

1.5

I read Kitchen Confidential years ago, but from what I remember it was much better. It felt like the author wanted to be shocking and revelatory. But it's not shocking as much as it is repetitive tales of bad behavior, mundane adrenaline tinged services and faux disasters in the making with wealthy people and celebrities sprinkled throughout. Anyone that worked front of house will have moments of feeling nostalgic or have PTSD flashbacks, maybe a little of both.
