I just finished reading this:
As a patron, you never really care/realize what's going on in the kitchen as long as your food comes out on time and tastes good. After reading Kitchen Confidential, I'm blown away. I never realized how much of a high-stress environment working in a kitchen is. Everything from fights, cursing each other out, lying, stealing, etc etc....I'm convinced that you have to be wired differently and LOVE to prepare/be around food if you're ever going to set foot in a busy kitchen to work. If you're a fan of Anthony Bourdain, this book is a must-read.
