Cook's Talk
Anthony and Dimitri give the lowdown on kitchen repartee while Mother attempts to maintain some decorum. Starring Sargon Yelda.
Anthony Bourdain's no holds barred expos茅 of the restaurant trade. A high octane culinary adventure set in New York, dramatised by Marcy Kahan.
Kitchen Confidential was a sensation on publication in 2000, taking the reader right to the heart of a sweaty, noisy, fast and furious cooking station with a fiery, likeable anti-hero protagonist. This radio dramatisation is a full-on behind the scenes tour of a range of kitchens, which questions why anyone would want to lead the exhausting, adrenalin-fuelled, harsh and precarious life of a restaurant chef. Marcy Kahan's clever dramatisation brings out the tenderness and real passion of its writer, as well as his high-octane roller coaster career.
Episode 4: Cook's Talk
Anthony and Dimitri entertain us with the low down on kitchen repartee. Not recommended for the faint hearted! Mother attempts to maintain some decorum - and finds herself quite fluent in some of the less racy terminology.
