New Reading Material
 

I have just finished reading "Kitchen Confidential" by Anthony Bourdain and loved it. I read "A Cooks Tour" last year and need more. I prefer biographical pieces (Augusten Borroughs, Jon Krakauer). Can anyone recommend something??

Holy crap! Coincidence! Have you been following the Doug Psaltis drama on eGullet? Get over there! There's a fourteen page thread with Bourdain and others weighing in on whether or not Doug was hiding something in his book "Seasoning of a Chef." Check it out....

Actually Chez Pim has a good introduction.

Start with this: http://chezpim.typepad.com/blogs/200...se_of_a_s.html

That link will lead you to the eGullet thread.

wow - DRAMA!!. I glanced over it. I will read it tonight when I get home.

Exactly. It's not so much that it's an interesting story in and of itself, but the politics of what is happening captivating. Interesting glimpse inside a world that ... it's not quite clear is being discussed on a public forum.

it's bourdain's attempt at painting chefs as pirates, outlaws, and romantic villains.
