En las ya clásicas memorias del chef Anthony Bourdain, éste nos llevó a través de las puertas giratorias de la cocina y puso patas arriba el oficio culinario. Bourdain lo cuenta todo: desde su primera ostra en la Gironda hasta su humilde puesto de friegaplatos en un restaurante de pescado de Provincetown (donde se enganchó al trabajo de chef de por vida); desde los fogones del Rainbow Room en lo alto del Rockefeller Center hasta los traficantes de drogas del East Village, pasando por Tokio, París y de vuelta en Nueva York.

I met Tony Bourdain in 2001, in Saint Petersburg, Russia, filming an episode of A Cook’s Tour. From that day on, we were comrades in search of new emotions and experiences greater than ourselves. In 2011, he told me to write my story. It took me 14 years to look back, to filter my life through the lens of our 17-year friendship. Tony showed me the way out of my cage, from the weight of being Soviet-born to becoming a citizen of the world. I had the honor of being his travel companion for 10 TV episodes.
