That book was "A Cook's Tour". He's a great writer as well as a chef.
Kitchen Confidential should be on all RC'ers reading list if you
haven't read it already. "Bone in the Throat" and "Gone Bamboo" are
purely fiction, but they are funny, well written, and both revolve
around the life of a chef. His Les Halles Cookbook is also remarkable,
but not one I'd advise you to share with Grandma if she's offended by
strong language.
