I really enjoyed Anthony Bourdain, he was really one of my favorite people (that I've never met). I read his book years ago. At the time I was working at a golf course, and volunteered for dishwashing duty for beer money. It was crazy how well he captured what it was like to work in a kitchen, and the types of people you encounter. I always found him to be very relatable, and as one of his co-workers put it today, "deeply, deeply human".
