Brings Back Memories

+ Oh the Memories!
+ A great read!

It has been over 20 years since I worked in the restaurant business, but reading Bourdain's book brought back a lot of memories of what the business and the many characters who inhabit it are like.

Awesome

This is one of the best novels I've read in a long time! I love Anthony Bourdain's television shows and his books, but I had never read any of his novels. It was even better than I hoped. The story flowed...there was never a dull spot. I even learned some new slang! A great read!
