Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly by Anthony Bourdain

his work is a blessing! it has been slowly shaping me for nearly a decade, and I feel so lucky. this was a rich, rich book and fascinating to learn about restaurant culture pre-food network era, pre-insta viral era. if I wasn’t convinced before that food is spiritual, this book pushed me over the edge (e.g. eyes rolling back as he described omakase in tokyo) just forever grateful we had him!
