Anthony Bourdain, the archetypal bad boy chef and host of "No Reservations" on the Travel Channel, has written one of the most enthralling food memoirs to date. In Kitchen Confidential Bourdain moves from kitchen to kitchen, exposing what really goes on behind the scenes at haute cuisine establishments.

If you like a dash of grit with your foodie memoirs, this one's for you.
