This reminds me of my summers as a head cook (at an amusement park) so much. Working in front of a grill with no AC when it's 120 degrees OUTSIDE. God, that job. That's where I learned to move fast because it was just two or three people, and often times just me by myself, cooking for four lines of people. And yes, the burns. So many burns. After a while you barely even notice when you get new ones.

I assume this is a kindle problem, but there are suddenly a bunch of sentences that don't make sense. Maybe my brain tumor is acting up, but I'm very confused.

I feel like I've gained so much insight into the way my asshole managers think...and like, Jesus Christ, at least Anthony is a famous chef with actually skill and knowledge. My bosses have all of this megalomania and they're nobodies who are going nowhere.

Someone make me fresh pasta. And fish. And some mashed potatoes. I'm so hungry.

There are a lot of words in this book my kindle doesn't have a definition for, so I'm just left to guess...but at least he admits he's a pretentious shit. I feel like he wrote this with a thesaurus in hand and he's doing it just to be obnoxious. On the upside, I've learned at least a dozen new words.

Also, so far it takes place in Maine and Rhode Island, the only two states I haven't been to in the area...now I'm getting all kinds of weird ideas about what it's like there.

I'm really starting to like this book. I'm learning about things I've never heard of, and I appreciate how self-deprecating he is about being a pretentious ass. And I feel a somewhat gross sense of nostalgia for the dickbags I hung out with in college.

I think I dated Anthony Bourdain in college. It was awful.

haha, classic Bourdain. I'm already amused and annoyed at the same time.
