《Kitchen Confidential》《Medium Raw 半生不熟》Anthony Bourdain

KC


- First trips to France on Queen Mary, 9 years old. Parents went to La Pyramide and left them on the car with Tintin. Became a food adventurist. The cold soup and oyster fresh from the sea turn on his palate. 

"......became a thrill seeker, pleasure-hungry sensualist, always looking to shock, amuse, terrify and manipulate, seeking to fill that empty spot in my soul with something new." 

- First time witness chef fucking the bride from back in the wedding banquet - wants tot be a chef

-Vassar dropped out

-Line cook - artist, exile, mercenaries

Medium Raw

- Travelled to the orient for the first time for La Halle Tokyo. Love the experience and addicted since. Became a TV personality soon after and fell in the grab of South East Asia - like lots of the lost white middle age men we see there. 

- Dated ultra rich girl and hate St Barth. Rich likes to be with rich, just charge them outrageous price with mediocre food. 

- Ends up living in Upper East and spend most of his time in wife's Sardinia.  

- From a good up-bring, father was Columbia Music's management level. 

- The writer he appreciates: Graham Greene Malcolm Lowry, B. Traven, Elmore Leonard
