Reviews'I've spent far too much time this year reading kitchen books. One that I particularly enjoyed was Anthony Bourdain's collection, The Nasty Bits, especially his commentaries on his own essays in which he tends to say: "I think I had my head up my ass when I wrote this thing"'

  • The title needs no explanation.. just go with it.

    You really get inside the restaurant with Anthony Bourdain, I learned a lot about the kitchen operation. Love the book, loved Tony before I read the book. He took you along on his travels, if you wanted to go.
