The List (Part Five)

Yes, Kitchen Confidential made the list.  Anthony Bourdain was the head chef of a French restaurant in New York City.  He now hosts a food show - No Reservations - where he travels from country to country, city to city, village to metropolis, sampling food, culture and life.  And he can still find time to write books about his life in the kitchens of the world and the occasional mystery/thriller.  I confess that I have not yet entertained myself with his fiction (cf. Bone in the Throat).  K.C. got to me first with its advice, wit and incredible story of dumb luck and hubris.  That friend who requested the list is also a talented cook.  He should be reading Mr Bourdain's gastronomical opus.
