I love this book, and Anthony Bourdain. His narration was great, and over all a great entertaining book that helped pass the time during a road trip. I highly recommend to any fellow foodie out there.

This was a very realistic look at how many kitchens are behind the scenes, for all its glory and hardships. This was my first Anthony Bourdain book and I will have to read the others. He narrates the book perfectly, he gives you little tastes of what it feels like to be in a big time kitchen and really shows his love of food.

This dude inspires the hell out of me !!! Not necessarily to cook .. but to live my life to the fullest and do more of what makes me happy and less of what it does not. Yes he ended his life … he had enough of the bull shit . I’m not gonna judge … May we all find what we looking for and reach the end of our lives … happy with what we’ve done

if you ever thought you wanted to open up a restaurant, you definitely need to read this book or listen to this book is the reality of the real life and restaurant business

Wonderful read.

For starters RIP to an absolute legend in the food industry! Very much enjoyed this book and all the raw nature it had to offer, a person like Anthony Bourdain and all the culture he brings makes this book come alive. If you ever want to know what truly goes on behind the scenes at a restaurant then give this a listen! Absolutely fantastic book!

I laughed, I cried..Rest in Peace Anthony. You are missed.

Can never go wrong with Bourdain; funny, insightful, informative.

a great book and as honest you would think from bourdain

get insight to the world of chefs.

loved hearing Anthony Bourdain "read" his book! so much better than reading it yourself

I appreciated his honesty, but he eliminated my agency as a person who is a vegetarian - and he sadly excluded me from eager inclusion in his magical story.

Really enjoyed this frank and realistic look a the inside of the kitchen of some very good (and some not so good) New York restaurants. His writing is vivid and colorful, so that you feel like you're right there with him. However, note that if you object to bad language, you won't be happy with this book!
