My wife is a chef and I, as you know, am afflicted by music. Hence, probably no surprise that my 17-year-old, when asked, says she wants to either be a chef or do something in music. We blanch and dry retch. “No please,” we beg, “anything but that.”
I’ll let my wife tell you “chef stories” someday, but for now just accept there is a reason why memoirs from people like Anthony Bourdain are such page-turners. It’s a colourful world, and trust me, The Bear or Boiling Point pull their punches. Real kitchens are worse.
