I would never have thought a chef could be into literature but he writes pretty well. I've read practically all his books, be it fiction or the non-fiction ones. Kitchen confidential was pretty good. He managed to bring readers into his world- the world of chefs, drugs, alcohol, and everything that's supposedly bad for you... A world that not many of us could possibly fit or survive in. I can't say the same for medium raw... He did say he wrote this book for cooks and not exactly for the general audience. I do enjoy some parts of the book where he described some of his gastronomic experiences. I think this book felt more like a collection of small pieces of memories and people...
It's like his own personal journal sorta thing and not exactly meant for someone else to enjoy...
There was this section where he described all the different kinds of food he tasted over the world... And it just felt quite flat...nothing like hemingway's "A moveable feast", where u feel lured and enticed. It's an okay read, nothing to rave about.
