That's a pretty good analogy actually. Anthony Bourdain has a bit more book learning, but also a bit more of a past with heroin addiction and punk rock, so it balances out.
Also Bourdain has written a graphic novel about dystopian gang warfare between sushi chefs. I'm gonna buy it soon.
i read Kitchen Confidential and his follow on book a few years ago - they are fantastic books. Thanks for the heads-up on Mozambique, I haven't caught that episode yet.
