Anthony Bourdain speaks his mind about numerous people an practices in the Restaurant industry. However it also provides better context, changes of (or more developed) opinions from his prior work Kitchen Confidential<\i> and talks at length his opinions about the state of food in the US (or at least as of 2010).
Some topics now will be dated which left me wondering if we ever managed to avoid catastrophy or if we just gave up completely since then. However the book is timeless as a way to see into the thought processes and beliefs of Bourdain at the time that the book was written and published.
And of course as of 2018, Bourdain is no longer with us, so some topics presented in the book can take a very different feel with hindsight.
