This just didn't live up to the hype. I was bored halfway through and felt little empathy for Tess and her life. Is this a sign I'm done with coming of age stories in NYC? Have I read too many kitchen memoirs and pieces of fiction? I don't think so, but this was a snooze. I finished because I'm not a quitter, but I was surely disappointed. And to compare this to Kitchen Confidential? That's a disservice to Bourdain and his work.
