Description was written before the event
He is nineteen years old, dreams of becoming a writer, and has no idea where life will take him. When his application for a coveted scholarship falls through, Anthony Bourdain arrives in the seaside town of Provincetown, Massachusetts - and instead of a literary career, he takes a summer job in a seafood restaurant.
Behind the kitchen doors, he finds an environment full of noise, physical labor, sharp humor, and distinctive personalities. The kitchen has its own rules, its own rhythm, and a tight-knit community of people who provoke, support, and look out for each other. For a restless young man still searching for his place, this world becomes a space of profound personal transformation.
