Tough guy in the kitchen

marcopierre.jpg

Marco Pierre White, the celebrated English and author, has a new volume out with jacket blurbs from Anthony Bourdain and Mario Batali.

Bourdain says he was "the guy all of us wanted to be." Writes Batali: "Marco is a gift to humanity, with more passion per pound than anyone else I have ever met. His story is genius."

White, says his publicist in the accompanying book literature, is the "original master" of today's rock 'n' roll bad boys. He has many London restaurants -- Belvedere, Criterion, Drones, Mirabelle, Quo Vadis, and the Frankies pizza chain among them -- and was the youngest chef ever to win three Michelin stars.

The subtitle of the new book, "Sex, Pain, Madness and the Making of a Great Chef" is both off-putting and intriguiging. Stay posted. I'll read the bound galleys and let you know by May, the pub date.
