    This is a great quote Kitchen Confidential is also just about the only book on the restaurant trade I recommend to people. It's fun, accurate and honest.

    “You like food and are reasonably nice at the table? You show me hospitality when I travel? I will sit down with you and break bread.”

    From The Guardian article.

      Yeah, I really liked Kitchen Confidential, and the sequel was good as well. Bourdain wasn't always a nice guy (he had some choice words to say about vegetarians!) but he genuinely cared about food...

      I don't think I necessarily always agreed with him but I sure as hell had a lot of respect for him. Sad day today.
