Sweating over gas ranges and mouthing off with the criminals-turned-prep cooks working the line, he loved the camaraderie of cleaving beef bones and pilfering booze with the troublemakers of the world. It was all part of a good kitchen, and to him, it was art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBourdain's first book,  Bone in the Throat , was pulled from the entrails of this world. The breakneck mafia caper follows a wannabe chef named Tommy who, like Bourdain, is fresh out of culinary school in Manhattan. He settles for a stint at a red sauce joint in Little Italy, unaware that the restaurant is in deep trouble with the mob-and that now he is too. After publication, Bourdain spent a year in St. Martin to “straighten himself out.” Then came  Gone Bamboo , a hysterical crime thriller that follows Henry, a CIA-trained assassin who retires to St. Martin after a botched murder job-but scores aren't settled that easily. It was only then that Bourdain published  Kitchen Confidential , the now-canonical book that made him a legend. But before cleaning up his act for good, Bourdain had one final job: to write  The Bobby Gold Stories , his last ever novel, which follows a once-scrawny Bobby as he does eight years in prison and comes out a hardened brute. When Bobby takes a job at a mobbed-up club, he falls for a fiery line cook named Nikki who brings more trouble than even he knows how to handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFull of knife-slinging chefs, fast-talking criminals, and the kitchens that harbor them all, these books reveal Bourdain's mind before his fame. “You can find him, I think, in these early novels” ( Eater ), and he's Bourdain as you've never known him before.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":67924390772981,"sku":"YSL52058","price":11.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/8774\/8597\/files\/716anVlH9jL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793672764","url":"https:\/\/www.newbooks.store\/products\/b0gmpz4m3s","provider":"NewBooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
