When Chef Anthony Bourdain wrote "Don t Eat Before You Read This" in The New Yorker， he spared no one s appetite， revealing what goes on behind the kitchen door. In Kitchen Confidential， he expanded that appetizer into a deliciously funny， delectable shocking banquet that lays out his 25 years of sex， drugs， and haute cuisine.From his first oyster in the Gironde to the kitchen of the Rainbow Room atop Rockefeller Center， from the restaurants of Tokyo to the drug dealers of the East Village， from the mobsters to the rats， Bourdain s brilliantly written， wild-but-true tales make the belly ache with laughter.

And in that unforgettably sweet moment in my personal history, that one moment still more alive for me than so many of the other 'firsts' which followed - first pussy, first joint, first day in high school, first pubulished book, or any other thing - I attained glory. Monsieur Saint-Jour beckoned me over to the gunwale, where he leaned over, reahced down until his head nearly disappeared underwater, and emerged holding a single silt-encrusted oyster, huge and irregularly shaped, in his rough, clawlike fist.

Food had power.
It could inspire, astonish, shock, excite, delight and impress. It had the power to please me ... and others. This was valuable information.
For the rest of that summer, and in later summers, I'd often slip off by myself to the little stands by the port, where one could buy brown paper bags of unwashed, black-covered oysters by the dozen. After a few lessons from my new soul-mate, blood brother and bestest buddy, Monsieur Saint-Jour --- Who was now sharing his after-work bowls of sugered vin ordinaire with me too - I could easily open the oysters by my s...

文笔太赞。他一定是阅尽千帆后甘愿自沉的，看殇了。

Foodie必读。我“读”的是由大厨本人朗读的有声书，好像在听No Reservation的加长剧场版，十分过瘾，而且不过滤f word.
