Sweating over gas ranges with criminals-turned–prep cooks, he loved the camaraderie of cleaving beef bones with the troublemakers of the world. It was all part of a good kitchen, and to him, it was art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBourdain’s first book,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBone in the Throat\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, was pulled from the entrails of this world. The mafia caper follows wannabe chef Tommy’s stint at a red sauce joint in Little Italy, unaware that it’s in trouble with the mob—and now he is too.
