Book First Edition
Paperback. Condition: New. First edition thus. 312pp. Octavo. [20.5cm]. Pictorial Wraps. "An updated and revised edition of Anthony Bourdain's mega-bestselling Kitchen Confidential, with new material from the original edition Almost two decades ago, the New Yorker published a now infamous article, "Don't Eat before You Read This," by then little-known chef Anthony Bourdain. Bourdain spared no one's appetite as he revealed what happens behind the kitchen door. The article was a sensation, and the book it spawned, the now classic Kitchen Confidential, became an even bigger sensation, a megabestseller with over one million copies in print. Frankly confessional, addictively acerbic, and utterly unsparing, Bourdain pulls no punches in this memoir of his years in the restaurant business. Fans will love to return to this deliciously funny, delectably shocking banquet of wild-but-true tales of life in the culinary trade from Chef Anthony Bourdain, laying out his more than a quarter-century of drugs, sex, and haute cuisineâ "this time with never-before-published material." --From the publisher.

Book
Condition: Wie neu. 8. Auflage. 349 (3) Seiten. 22 cm. Umschlaggestaltung: Design Team. Sehr guter Zustand. Frisches Exemplar. Wie ungelesen. Sein Erweckungserlebnis hatte Anthony Bourdain im zarten Alter von neun: Es geschah, als dem kleinen Amerikaner mitten im Atlantik auf der "Queen Mary" eine Suppe serviert wurde, die absolut fremd und köstlich schmeckte und die, nicht zu fassen, kalt war - eine Vichyssoise. Zwar nährt sich das Kind während der darauf folgenden kulinarischen Pilgerfahrt der Familie durch Frankreich unbeirrbar auch weiterhin ausschliesslich von Sandwiches, Steaks und Fritten, doch dann wirft ihn ein echtes, grandios bestandenes, Essensabenteuer endgültig aus der Bahn: Tonys erste Auster schmeckt nicht nur nach Meer, Fleisch und Tränen, sondern auch nach Magie und Zukunft. Er beschliesst, Gourmet zu werden. Als Student nimmt er einen Tellerwäscherjob in einem Strandlokal an - und fühlt sich überraschend wohl zwischen attraktiven Kellnerinnen, die sich als recht grosszügig erweisen mit freien Drinks und anderen Beweisen ihrer Gunst, und den Köchen, einem bunt zusammengewürfelten Haufen schräger, abgründiger Gestalten, die, in seinen Augen Göttern gleich, höchst effizient, mit gnadenlosem, krudem Witz ihre Herrschaft ausüben. Als dann auch noch während einer Hochzeitsgesellschaft die Braut - unter den ehrfürchtig staunenden Augen des gesamten Küchenpersonals - mit dem ihr bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt völlig unbekannten Küchenchef eine spontane Abschiedsnummer hinlegt, weiss Tony: Er will Chefkoch werden. In diesem Buch beschreibt Bourdain die vielfach verschlungenen, gelegentlich auch gefährlichen Wege, die ihn zu diesem Ziel geführt haben. Seine erste Station war die CIA, das Culinary Institute of America in New York, die beste Schule des Landes. Schon im Laufe seiner Ausbildung erweisen sich sein Talent und sein skurriles Genie, und bereits hier eignet er sich einen wesentlichen Teil der Tricks und Kniffe des Gewerbes an, von denen er einige auch an den Leser weitergibt: "Kochen wie die Profis". Die Schule ist eines, man weiss es, doch die Praxis ist etwas anders - und für die Praxis sorgt der legendäre "Bigfoot", ein knallharter, in der gesamten New Yorker Bar- und Restaurantszene bekannter, mit einer Mischung aus Grauen und unverhohlener Bewunderung betrachteter Chef. Er hämmert Tony die für die Küche unerlässliche Disziplin ein und dazu noch so manches andere. Bigfoot wird zu seinem Vorbild, seinem wahren Lehrmeister, und noch heute ist er der Grund dafür, sagt Bourdain, "warum ich nie zu spät zur Arbeit komme, nie krank bin, mir jeden Abend vor dem Schlafengehen die Vorbereitungslisten und die Speisekarten für morgen durch den Kopf gehen lasse. Er ist auch der Grund dafür, warum ich drei Schachteln Zigaretten am Tag rauche und über jeden, mit dem ich arbeite, buchstäblich alles weiss, warum sich meine Lieferanten winden, wenn ich sie anrufe, und warum meine Frau mich, wenn ich heimkomme, daran erinnern muss, dass sie meine Frau ist, und nicht meine Angestellte." Doch so weit ist Tony noch lange nicht. Zunächst einmal kocht er sich, das CIA-Diplom in der Tasche und jede Menge Flausen im Kopf, durch eine Reihe höchst unterschiedlicher Restaurants - und gelangt dabei sogar bis in die olympischen Höhen des "Rainbow Room" im Rockefeller Center -, aber praktisch keines davon übersteht sein Regiment als Küchenchef unbeschadet. Tony schwelgt hemmungslos in allen möglichen ungesunden und illegalen Extravaganzen der 70er Jahre und stürzt schliesslich ab. Glücklicherweise aber erfolgt nach der Erholung vom Heroinentzug dann auch seine - endgültige - Läuterung, bewirkt vor allem durch die schlichte Schönheit und Reinheit der toskanischen Küche. Er ist jetzt reif für ernsthafte Arbeit, für den Knochenjob eines erfolgreichen Küchenchefs - und beweist das nun seit rund acht Jahren Tag für Tag als Chef der "Brasserie Les Halles", Park Avenue, New York. Tony Bourdain mag seine wirklich wilden Jahre hinter sich haben, vergessen davon hat er zum Glück nichts: weder die aberwitzigen Erfahrungen, die er auf seiner kulinarischen Odyssee gemacht hat, noch die aberwitzigen Menschen, die ihm dabei begegnet sind und ihn teils heute noch begleiten. Und so amüsant und umwerfend ehrlich seine Memoiren auch sind, Bourdain hat für den Leser noch eine ganze Menge mehr auf Lager. Grosszügig verteilt er gute Ratschläge, ernsthafte Warnhinweise und geizt auch nicht mit Informationen, die dem Restaurantbesucher in der Regel sorgfältig verborgen bleiben. Und auch wenn nicht alles, was hinter der Küchentür passieren kann, erfreulich ist, fühlt man sich dennoch bestens unterhalten, wenn er uns beispielsweise erklärt, warum eine Meeresfrüchte-Frittata keine weise Wahl ist, warum man den Sonntagsbrunch auf jeden Fall vermeiden sollte, dass Bakterien nichts leidenschaftlicher lieben als Sauce Hollandaise, und dass der, der sein Steak gut durch bestellt, letztlich kaum mehr als den abgekratzten Pfannenputz zu essen kriegt. Nicht allen Gästen ist die 3-Sekunden-Regel bekannt - alles, was schneller wieder aufgehoben wird, gilt als nicht hinunter gefallen -, und diejenigen, die nach dieser Lektüre in fröhlicher Unbefangenheit ihre nächste Muschelbestellung aufgeben, gehören zweifellos zu den Tapferen im Lande. Der französischstämmige Amerikaner Anthony Bourdain, 45, hat seine Fachausbildung am Culinary Institute of America erhalten; er arbeitet seit gut 20 Jahren als Küchenchef und führt seit rund acht Jahren die "Brasserie Les Halles" in New York City. Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 600 Schwarzes Leinen mit Schutzumschlag.

First Edition
Hardcover. First Edition; Fourth printing. 307 pages. What to say about this iconic individual? He broke the mold, he told it how he saw it: "I want to tell you about the dark recesses of the restaurant underbelly - a subculture whose centuries-old militaristic hierarchy and ethos of 'run, buggery and the lash' make for a mix of unwavering order and nerve-shattering chaos - because I find it all quite comfortable, like a nice warm bath.Of course, there's a very possibility this book could finish me in the business. There will be horror stories. Heavy drinking, drugs, screwing in the dry-goods area, unappetizing revelations about bad food-handling and unsavory industry-wide practices." Covered in protective mylar. ISBN 158234082X, price $24.95 on front flap. Black boards. Near fine, in very good dust wrapper.

"[Anthony Bourdain's] comic vision goes beyond original. It is deliciously depraved." -- New Your Times Book Review. "Benedict Arnold. Alger Hiss. Anthony Bourdain." -- London Evening Standard. "With equal parts wit and wickedness, Bourdain [does] the unthinkable by revealing trade secrets that chefs and restuaranteurs cringe to read." -- Restaurant Business Magazine. " New York Chef Tony Bourdain gives away secrets of the trade in his wickedly funny, inspiring memoir/expose. Kitchen Confidential reveals what Bourdain calls "twenty-five years of sex, drugs, bad behaviour and haute cuisine." Last summer, The New Yorker published Chef Bourdain's shocking, "Don't Eat Before Reading This". Bourdain spared no one's appetite when he told all about what happens behind the kitchen door. Bourdain uses the same "take-no-prisoners" attitude in his deliciously funny and shockingly delectable book, sure to delight gourmands and philistines alike. 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 of being a chef); from the kitchen of the Rainbow Room atop ROckefeller Center, to drug dealers in teh 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 the inner front jacket flap.
