Anthony Michael Bourdain was born on June 25, 1956 in New York City, NY.
He was a celebrity chef, author, and travel/cooking media personality.
He wrote more than ten books.
Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly was published in 2000.
This book is an extension of the New Yorker article Bourdain wrote called "Don't Eat
before You Read This." It was on the New York Times best seller list and has sold
more than a million copies. The book is an exposé about what happens in
the elite kitchens of New York's finest restaurants. Amazon reports that the book is
"frankly confessional, addictively acerbic, and utterly unsparing. Bourdain pulls no
punches in this memoir of his years in the restaurant business."
