New York Bloomsbury Publishing First edition, third printing pp. 307. 8vo. Light shelfwear; very good+ in very good price-clipped dustjacket, small price sticker to rear panel, protected by plastic sleeve. "From Bourdain's first oyster in the Gironde, to his lowly position as dishwasher in a honky-tonk fish restaurant in Provincetown (where he witnesses for the first time the real delights on being a chef); from the kitchen of the Rainbow Room atop Rockefeller Center, to drug dealers in the East Village, from Tokyo to Paris and back to new York again, Bourdain's tales of the kitchen are as passionate as they are unpredictable. Kitchen Confidential will make your mouth water while your belly aches with laughter. You'll beg the chef for more, please." - From front flap.
