Anthony Bourdain On Culinary School

I did not- but absolutely loved that chapter of his book. You see so many commercials on TV nowadays about all these different "cooking" schools it was nice to get some perspective from a veteran of the business.

PS- Can't wait to see Bourdain live this Friday!
