Yep. Good read. Rang true. I wasn't the obsessive food-service type when I
was working in the industry, but I recognized a LOT of former colleagues.

Checked "Cook's Tour" out of the library last week, working my way through it.
Makes me wish I could park the kid for a day so I could swim right through it
instead of doing five pages here, five there. Think of the ******* child of
Proust and Hemingway, in search of a petite madeleine made from snake's blood
and offal.

I can also recommend his two fiction works, "Gone Bamboo" and . . . um, title
escapes me right now, if you like gonzo gritty thrillers.

Best,

Marc
