Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly
By Anthony Bourdain

Bourdain is wild—his book is about what goes on in restaurant kitchens and it's very entertaining. I think it should be called "How to Live Through a Nightmare". I don't know if everything he says is true or not; in many ways I hope it's not, because it would be horrible to work in some of the places he describes!
