Anthony Bourdain pulled back the curtain and revealed that the restaurant kitchen was full of drugs, pirates and misfits, all while somehow making it sound irresistible. The book sold in the millions, turned him into a household name and effectively changed how the public views the profession. This anniversary edition marks twenty-five years and comes with a new foreword by Irvine Welsh. A. A. Gill described it as Elizabeth David rewritten by Quentin Tarantino, quite possibly the most spot-on summary ever written. Bourdain died in 2018.
