They drank everything in sight, stole whatever wasn’t nailed down, and screwed their way through floor staff, bar customers, and casual visitors like nothing I’d ever seen or imagined. They carried big, bad-ass knives, which they kept honed and sharpened to a razors edge…these guys were master criminals, sexual athletes…highwaymen rogues, buccaneers, cut-throats…the life of a cook was the life of adventure, looting, pillaging and rock-and-rolling through life with a carefree disregard for all conventional morality. It looked pretty damn good to me…”

      I worked in a kitchen in high school the chefs all looked like these guys. And they were screwing all the 16 year old waitresses I had crushes on.

      Ah yes, when Anthony Bourdain, Eddie Van Halen, and Joseph Stalin were cutting their teeth in the culinary world.

      Kitchen confidential is my bible. From when he was mocked for wanting to use tea towels to hold hot frying pans. To locking himself in a cool room with coke to make his food sculptures.
