Bourdain spared no one's appetite as he revealed what happens behind the kitchen door. The article was a sensation, and the book it spawned, the now iconic \u003cem\u003eKitchen Confidential\u003c\/em\u003e, became an even bigger sensation and megabestseller. Frankly confessional, addictively acerbic, and utterly unsparing, Bourdain pulls no punches in this memoir of his years in the restaurant business.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFans will love to return to this deliciously funny, delectably shocking banquet of wild-but-true tales of life in the culinary trade, laying out Bourdain's more than a quarter-century of drugs, sex, and haute cuisine. Including a handwritten introduction and annotations done by Bourdain about a decade after the book was originally published, this edition also features previously unpublished photos to accompany the now-classic text. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContributor Bio:\u003c\/strong\u003eBourdain, Anthony\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnthony Bourdain \u003c\/strong\u003ewas the author of the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestsellers \u003cem\u003eKitchen Confidential\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eMedium Raw\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWorld Travel\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eAppetites\u003c\/em\u003e and the novels \u003cem\u003eBone in the Throat\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eGone Bamboo\u003c\/em\u003e.
