This review is from: Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly (Paperback)
The book is just what it is, an insider's look at kitchen's and the people behind the food.I was reading chapter after chapter saying to myself, "Yes, that really happens, it happened in a place I worked at!" Anyone who wants to know the "real deal" in kitchens should read before venturing forth. Cooking is rewarding and brutal at the best of times. I watch his shows as well and glad he has kicked through the glass door. Its great for a few laughs for sure.

This review is from: Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly (Paperback)
I totally loved this book! If one is a foodie, a gourmand, or lover of memoirs, one will thoroughly enjoy this rollicking, insider's account of the restaurant industry and how the author ended up as a highly respected chef who is a passionate about food.This is a well-written, thoroughly enjoyable and informative book, replete with self-deprecating humor and any number of quirky and crude characters that can be found in the belly of the beast known as the restaurant industry. It is an eye-opening and engrossing book that will keep the reader riveted until the very last page is turned.

This review is from: Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly (Paperback)
This is how it really can be in the restaurant business. Perhaps the best book I have read in a long time. Though being a chef I have not had much time to read other than the quick reference of a few cookbooks. Hats off to Boudain who can not only cook but can write text interesting, funny and captivating. Anyone who has worked in restaurants can identify with this book. You Know who you are!
