Kitchen Confidential

by Anthony Bourdain · narrated by Anthony Bourdain, Irvine Welsh

First published 2000

A chef's swaggering, behind-the-kitchen-door tour of the restaurant business: the chaos, the crews, the culinary secrets and why you might skip Monday fish.

Narrated by: Anthony Bourdain, Irvine Welsh (including the author)

Grumpy’s take“Hear the kitchen gossip straight from the chef. Books are for propping up wobbly tables.”
