2005 book 16

anthony bourdain's kitchen confidential
i swear i remember liking this the last time i read it, and i was in the mood to read about food a couple of weeks ago when i started this, but then i discovered that it's not really about food. i think this is the sort of book where, to really get it, you have to either have worked in a restaurant and/or be familiar with new york food culture. unfortunately neither applies to me, and i really had to force myself to finish it.

  2. actually, i was into it when i started it--but i was about 3/4 of the way through when i went on all my various trips and it didn't seem worth lugging it along when i was so close to the end. then when i picked it up again, i just couldn't get back into it. i guess i lost the story's flow or something.
