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 the appetizer into a deliciously funny, delectably shocking banquet that lays out his twenty-five years of sex, drugs, and haute cuisine.

From his first oyster in Gironda 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 and wonderfully read, wild-but-true tales make the belly ache with laughter.

About the Author: Anthony Bourdain is the author of the novels Bone in the Throat and Gone Bamboo. He is the executive chef at Brasserie Les Halles in New York City.
