I am getting diagnosed in this book lol misreading pointless cues and tones and sometimes taking them as an attack is my entire life jesus christ

I feel called out

The “What kind of pervert am I?” Comment is so funny, this is after breaking down being both annoyed with attention from her new friend and enjoying the attention at the same time, or feeling two extreme emotions at once. I feel like I’m in therapy with her and would think the same weird thought lol thinking in extremes makes you judgy towards yourself in the end

Oh wow, I thought that was important info to take into account when at a restaurant, but I get what he’s saying.

Northridge, CA mentioned!!! Lol I love that Anthony Bourdain was in my hometown :,)

Big fan of this Justo guy, I hope he’s doing well

Using Mario as an example of the chef’s code is just not it :(

This aged poorly, Mario Batali is a pure predator in sheep’s clothing, I wish there was an edit made in this book to remove his name.

I love that he spends a whole chapter hating on Alice Waters, but then immediately sympathizes & humanizes her when he actually met her in real life and begins to understand her specific stances on food to the point where he finds common ground with her on eating organic. He’s incredibly real for this, & it’s hilarious that he’ll take a sharp turn on a particular stance on food or something after processing it.

Okay I’m going to start crying now, this whole chapter is about Anthony Bourdain cherishing his daughter and his love and dedication to being a good father is honestly beautiful.

I wish chapter 9 could be published everywhere, the American meat market is a scary place and words ammonia treated and meat trimmings shouldn’t be in the same sentence or anywhere near each other…

I love a good Anthony Bourdain crash out during a morning walk
