Event Details

The Beyond the Book Club is a biographies and memoirs club where we will explore the stories of fascinating people, the lives they led, and the art they created. We are back this September with our theme of chefs/cooking professionals! This will be led by librarians Analisa and Sean. 

We will be reading the chef classic, Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain. Over two decades ago, the New Yorker published a now infamous article, “Don’t Eat Before Reading This,” by then little-known chef Anthony Bourdain. Bourdain spared no one’s appetite as he revealed what happens behind the kitchen door. The article was a sensation, and the book it spawned, the now iconic Kitchen Confidential, became an even bigger sensation and mega bestseller. Frankly confessional, addictively acerbic, and utterly unsparing, Bourdain pulls no punches in this memoir of his years in the restaurant business.

Fans will love to return to this deliciously funny, delectably shocking banquet of wild-but-true tales of life in the culinary trade, laying out Bourdain’s more than a quarter-century of drugs, sex, and haute cuisine.
