        His book Kitchen Confidential is the story of his lived experience as a line cook (and later chef and restaurateur)

          just a different kitchen worker here chiming in to say that Bourdain's book may have been your window, but people live that life every day and most of them don't get to write a book about it. I'm a dishwasher and prep cook by time worked, and more than half of that meme relates to me without ever having read some dead asshole's book
