When the book came out I was working in a kitchen in Ann Arbor. A few guys on the line read it and they loved it. They referenced the drug culture and the sex, things that definitely existed, at least in our corner of the industry. They didn't reference much else so I don't really know much else about it. I can say that I've seen some filthy shit in the restaurant industry, but I've also seen some of the best run and clean businesses out there.

Bourdain is a gifted storyteller and I hope that he finds another opus.

Personally, I've never drank so much or gotten so much 'tang as when I worked in a restaurant. Good ole days.
