BLISTERING ~ MACABRE ~ IRREVERENT
Legendary chef Anthony Bourdain’s crude culinary noir classic.
When up-and-coming chef Tommy Pagana settles for a less than glamorous stint at his uncle’s failing restaurant in Little Italy, he unwittingly finds himself a partner in big-time crime. Between the chef’s smack habit and a murder in the kitchen, Tommy finds that nothing he learned at culinary school has prepared him for what happens next.
Charcoal-black and gloriously entertaining, Bone in the Throat is a thrilling Mafia caper that slices open the criminal underbelly of New York City’s restaurant scene – and serves it up raw.
“A superb tale of violence and backbiting set in the seething testosterone-heavy company of a crew of New York cooks, and simply towers head, shoulders and upper torso above everything else”
