 No Reservations... this book is GREAT! October 1, 2008
In reading this book, I could actually hear Anthony Bourdain's voice in my head. Since this was written prior to "A Cook's Tour" and "No Reservations" I felt as though I was getting the uncensored, ungroomed Tony Bourdain.
My ex-husband told me that I shouldn't read this book because if I did, I may never want to eat out again. Total crap. If anything, this makes me want to go out to eat more often, knowing how much work goes into preparing our meals. But the rule is simple, appreciate good food and the hands who prepare it and you can't go wrong.
It might be offensive to people at times, but overall I found it honest and entertaining. Adding it to my permanent collection of stuff to read over and over again.
The best September 15, 2008
Being in the restaurant business for 23 years I thought I had stories. I couldn't put the book down. I feel like I worked with him. This is a must read!!
 OK reading if you want to learn the life of Bourdain September 10, 2008
I like Bourdain, but was hoping there would be a lot more tips about what to avoid/look for in a restuarant. The book was mainly about his life as a drugged out chef. entertaining, but not educational.
A cook at his best September 5, 2008
I really appreciate Bourdain's candidness. His stories are real, thoughtful, and humorous. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Bourdain or good storytelling.
Read before you board the pirate ship August 20, 2008
Not a cook book, but a fine read for anyone interested in fine food; and required reading for anyone considering a career in the back of the house. You will laugh out loud at some of the antics of Tony Bourdain and his cadre, and shudder in horror wondering if you were victim to some culinary pirate's marauding. Adventurous eaters will find something here too. This is an easy read you will gobble up, especially if you enjoy fine dining.
