Read this in less than one week, which is about right for me. This was highly entertaining. I think my husband would really enjoy it as he truly likes to cook, and would likely enjoy the stories that seem similar to '80s rock star lifestyle as well. He'll like the helpful hints on what to have in your kitchen.

Bourdain is a shameless name dropper, which cracks me up since I don't know any of the names he drops. This book had a very distinct audience, of which I am not a member, but I was entertained anyway. Stories of random, whacked out lives so different from my own cause me to shake my head and be glad I refrained from such edge behavior.
