"Before stunning the world  with his bestselling Kitchen Confidential and A Cook's Tour, Anthony Bourdain spent years serving some of the best French brassiere food in New York. With its no-nonsense, down-to-earth atmosphere, Les Halles matched Bourdain's style perfectly: a restaurant where you can dress down, talk loudly, drink a little too much wine, and have a good time with friends. Here, Bourdain has put together a cookbook like no other: candid, funny, audacious, and full of his signature charm and bravado."
