totally forgot in my recent restaurant non-fiction marathon that the best one was
cxvii. the sorcerer's apprentices, lisa abend
fascinating look at el bulli and the free work that they are provided with by chefs who are desperate to do a stage there! and also the monotony of perfection and the mythology of the entire concept
plus i just finished
cxviii. medium raw, anthony bourdain
i like his conversational yet violently descriptive writing style. this was a bunch of essays mainly about the industry and people in the industry - the ones about david chang and justo thomas were particularly interesting.
