Summary
A wildly funny, irreverent tale of murder, mayhem, and the mob.
When up-and-coming chef Tommy Pagana settles for a less than glamorous stint at his uncle's restaurant in Manhattan's Little Italy, he unwittingly finds himself a partner in big-time crime. And when the mob decides to use the kitchen for a murder, nothing Tommy learned in cooking school has prepared him for what happens next. With the FBI on one side and his eccentric wise guy superiors on the other, Tommy has to struggle to do right by his conscience and avoid getting killed in the meantime....
Stuffed with charming characters and peppered with Bourdain's wry humor, Bone in the Throat is one satisfying feast of a novel.

Surprisingly funny and exquisitely graphic!
Great read. I’ll never be able to look at certain kitchen appliances again without wincing given the exquisite description Bourdain used to describe how they were used for nefarious purposes to settle disputes. Rest in peace Tony. High five.

"The chef, the sous chef and his uncle."
Or "What is it I'm supposed to know but I don't know?"
Such fun
Written before Bourdain's brilliant Kitchen Confidential, I'd kept this one in my TBR pile for several years, fearful that it might not live up the expectations created by that book and his later work, written and on TV. I need not have worried. Perhaps not as polished, but that familiar Bourdain energy and style is still there, including swearing, and the characters of tea two main cooks shines out, bursting with colour and the desperation of being trapped in a most unpleasant mafia situation. Very funny, and poignant, too.
Narrated by Kaleb Griffith, is the next best thing to Bourdaine himself, smooth, warm with great pacing and verbal variations holding the interest of the reader, should any extra be needed, throughout
A delicious read, and recommended.
