lol at “submitted an unsolicited essay”
After shopping his writing around with no luck, he got his mother, an editor at the NYT, to give it to her friend, the wife of the editor of the New Yorker.
I first read Kitchen Confidential 22 yrs ago when I was in restaurant mgmt and worked with a great chef. Instantly he was one of my favorite authors ever from that book alone. And have loved reading and watching him since. RIP.
Miss this man everyday.
I will say it every time his stuff is posted. I love that man. Watching A Cooks Tour and No Reservations as a kid/young teen rewired my brain. I would love to cook for a living. maybe someday I will, but right now I cook for my husband and its my favorite thing ever
Dang, he only got famous after 1999?
god i miss him so much. mental health is so important check in on your friends.
Geez.
Still can’t watch the reruns. I’ve set out to be kinder to others. He can’t be the only one who has suffered on the raw edge of life and death.
RIP my friend Tony, man do I miss you
He was awesome and like many others I miss him, his whit and his program.
I really enjoyed his TV content
The GOAT
He had been a published author for 5 years before his 5th (and best known) book was published
god damn it tony… fuck man…
I miss him
I miss that man and his stories.
We miss you Tony

Repost without even bothering to change the title.
I enjoyed Kitchen Confidential so much. Medium Raw I’ve struggled to pick it up after the first few chapters.
What a life this guy lived.
One of the greatest wordsmiths of all time. His narration was like poetry.
