520			_aThis book examines these alterations by bouncing back and forth between the author's awful old days and the present day. Bourdain compares and contrasts what he has seen and what he is seeing, halting along the way for confessions, rants, investigations, and interviews with some of the most contentious characters in gastronomy. And he continually returns to the question, "Why cook?" Or the more difficult question: "Why cook well?" Beginning with a secret and highly illegal after-hours gathering of powerful chefs that he compares to a Mafia summit, Bourdain, in his signature, no-holds-barred manner, gets to the marrow of every subject he addresses.
