[QUOTE="nerfherder, post: 663151, member: 15907"] Quickly - I am trying to keep a 14 month old girl out of my toolbox. The book you want is Bourdain's "Kitchen Confidential." And everything you read in it about his psycho baker friend? I was pretty darned close to that when I was a baker. And all his stories? Totally not exaggerating. Been there, done that (except the heroin and meth.) Back in 2004, when driving across country, I spent an overnight with my late friend Bob. Bob was a restaurant critic and chef, worked for some big names in his day. So we spent the night with a roast chicken from Polyface Farms (Google it, another fantastic food writer, Joel something), a bottle of chianti, telling each other stories of our professional days. "Tony? Tony Bourdain's an :censored2:," he said. "A good enough chef, but even my 9 year old who sat at the table with us at (some chef awards banquet dinner) said so." I really miss Bob. Even had a dream about him, a few months after he died, he was approving our outdoor kitchen and I was showing him the keystone shaped brick I found. Six years later we live on a farm, Blacksmith built an outdoor kitchen, and there is a keystone shaped brick I found by the pasture fence. [/QUOTE]
