Bobby Gold Stories

Anthony Bourdain is already well known as a chef and a writer of mysteries. Now he tackles the short story with these 12 tales of Bobby Gold, a bouncer in a New York club called the Nite Klub.

"Bourdain cooks as a writer. He shouldn't be afraid to get out of the kitchen." - Donald P. Hill (New York Times Book Review, 5/4/03)

"With a few short, sharp strokes, he delineates fully fleshed, deeply flawed, powerfully sympathetic characters....Bourdain's dialogue is worth the price of the meal....The chef wields his pen with the same murderously winning flair as he does his knives." - (Kirkus, 3/15/03)
