 Anthony Bourdain - The Bobby Gold Stories Not a cookbook, but just had to post ... an Open Critic review turned me on to the Bobby Gold Stories ... not because the book is any good (they panned it) but because of the hilarious ordering scene by one of characters. Check out the review, if you can find it at theopencritic.com(Anthony Bourdain - The Bobby Gold Stories) for an excerpt if you don't know what I'm talking about. Anyone else read Bourdain's book? Anyone who's been on the floor will know a guy exactly like that.  |

| I think by now I've read all of Tony's books, including those mentioned above, the usual suspects (Kitchen Confidential, A Cook's Tour, and The Nasty Bits), plus Gone Bamboo and Typhoid Mary. He's very entertaining. And it's clear that he knows whereof he speaks.

| I've read everything he's written as well, and, although he continues to be extremely entertaining... his ferocity/edge appears to be waning. I don't foresee anything with the intensity of Kitchen Confidential coming out anytime soon. He can dream of hunting mice, but let's face it, he's a house cat now. |

| picked up some info along the way Actually I heard of Chef Bourdain prior to reading his book. After being inspired to read the whole thing, I was shocked and delighted by his disturbed and unapologetic style. Definitely an entertaining read. |

 I had my copy of Kitchen Confidential signed by Mr. Bourdain at a reading he gave in Milwaukee a few years ago. He was thoroughly charming and didn't show those rough edges we know and love from his TV adventures. At one time he was a member here at Chef Talk. Who knows? Maybe he's still lurking and/or posting!
