Query: An Unseasoned Mess

Don't quit your day job, Mr. Bourdain. While this book starts out promisingly, it quickly disintigrates into a sloppy mish-mash of memoir, back-stabbing, and bland cooking tips (use heavy pans! get a good knife!). Mostly, though, it's just the tale of a hack chef staring with deep love and fascination into his own dirty navel. Most of the reputed "tell-alls" of nasty habits in the restaurant biz were reported decades ago--with a lot more wit and style--by George Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London. If you want scandal, log on to the NYC Health Dept's restaurant reports. But unless you find Bourdain as fascinating as he finds himself,I'd skip this book.
