The main character in my book is Anthony Bourdain. And let me tell you he is one heck of a guy, he has gone from kitchen to kitchen he has worked under Chefs he has managed chefs. Anthony has been around the block a time or two. He has a very odd personality he can go from calm and collected to Crazy in any minute but sometimes I wonder if that's just the life of a chef, because they work under hard standards and they don't have time mess ups or mistakes when there preparing a customers meal. He has been a very interesting guy to read about because hes all over the board! in the beginning of the book till at least halfway through hes doing drugs everyday, and he would work in kitchen where drugs were supplied from the bartender or head chef, but he seems to turn around and all of the sudden he stops mentioning that hes doing drugs all of the time, so I figured that he quit.
You know at first I wasn't sure about Anthony and what his journey was going to be like. But after reading most of his book so far I give him props he has moved around so many times and because of this gained many skills and I really admire his hard work and dedication to the kitchen. Some of the stuff I have read has cracked me up and other things made me realize just how tough it gets, and I think that's what makes his book so interesting and sometimes he explains things out so well its like almost right there with him. he one very talented chef and I admire his hard work.
You know I have always had a love for cooking, and that's why I am pursuing a Culinary Arts degree now. But growing up in the small town that I did it was at least 20 -25 minutes drive to work at any restaurant and I just was interested in driving that far. I always worked at local places just minutes from my house. After reading his book I know that I'm making the right choice though because I cant wait to feel that crazy rush when the kitchen is flooded with orders and everything goes just right.
Anthony to me is a really inspiring person, yes maybe he did drugs and hit some all time lows but he pulled through and is turning kitchen mistakes into kitchen mater pieces well trying at least and sometimes they fail and sometimes they don't, but that's life that's any business not just a restaurant. I really believe that he has a passion for cooking.
