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.

安东尼·伯尔顿,纽约Brasserie Les Halles餐厅的执行厨师长,从事厨师职业28年,首部非小说类作品《厨室机密》风磨全球。安东尼尚著有小说《如鲠在喉》和《逝去的竹子》
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. With a snubby, rustcoverd oyster knife, he popped the thing open and handed it to me, everyone watching now, my little brother shrinking away from this glistening, vaguely sexual-looking object, still dripping and nearly alive.
I took it in my hand, tilted the shell back into my mouth ... (查看原文)
I'd learned something. Viscerally, instinctively, spiritually - even in some small, precursive way, sexually - and there was no turning back. The genie was out of the bottle. My life as a cook, and as a chef, had begun.
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...

Another class, Oriental Cookery, as I believe it was then calleo was pretty funny. The instructor, a capable Chinese guy, was responsible for teaching us the fundamentals of both Chinese and apanese cooking. The Chinese portion of the class was terrific. When it came time to fill us in on the tastes of Japan, however, our teacher was more interested in giving us an extended lecture on the Rape of Nanking. His loathing of the Japanese was consuming, In between describing the bayoneting of women, children and babies in World War Il, he'd point at a poster of a sushi/sashimi presenta tion on the wall, and say in his broken, heavily accented English That a raw a fish. You wanna eat that? Hah! Japanese shit!" Then hed go back into his dissertation on forced labor, mass execution and enslavement, hinting darkly that Japan would pay, sooner or later, for what it had done to his country.

知道Anthony Bourdain始于电视,却从书中近一步了解他的经历,了解餐厅厨房是个怎样的地方。不过他的形象却仍然和第一印象一致,外在豪放直爽却又内心有着细腻感性的厨子文艺大叔。

听的是Bourdain自己朗读的有声书,就像他在节目里一样,天马行空说一大堆,真是完美表现了什么是articulate。

纽约厨房秘辛!Bourdain服务的并不是一家每晚只轮转两次的fine dining restaurant,而更像是熟悉的everyday法餐厅,这使得他的经历、他的厨房更有普适性,更像是日常餐厅的厨房

也许不是一本很好的自传,但毫不妨碍读者感受他的个人魅力。喜欢他描述的厨房,很有江湖气,各路瘾君子、黑道大哥、边缘人士和暴力分子尽显神通。
