Story
Bobby Gold is a lovable criminal. After nearly 10 years in prison, he's no sooner out than he's back to work breaking bones for tough guys. His turf: the club scene and restaurant business. It's not that he enjoys the job - Bobby has real heart - but he's good at it, and a guy has to make a living. Things change when he meets Nikki, the cook at a club most definitely not in his territory. Smitten, he can't stay away. Bobby Gold has known trouble before, but with Nikki the sauté bitch in his life, things take a turn for life or death.

Incredible Historical Mystery

Publisher's 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.

Very unique culinary-based mafia story
I highly enjoyed this story. The characters were well written and the story was different than what I'm used to. It was about a mafia family with one good egg on the tree who turned out to be a sous chef and the hero of the story. It brought me back the days where I was s cook. I learned new ways to use kitchen utensils for self defense or for murders. I also learned a bit about past drug purchasing methods in NY city. Not a book for people who can't tolerate offensive language or gory imagery. Bourdain was a much better writer than I predicted he would be.

Not as bad as the reviews say.
A bit disappointing in the intensity of the climatic scene. But fairly interesting description s of the details of a heroin den and the backside of some shady restaurants as informed by (from his other biographic works) bourdains own experience in both circumstances.

Not at all the “wildly funny” tale as advertised
From the publisher’s summary, I thought I’d be getting a dark-mafia comedy along the lines of The Whole Nine Yards or The Freshman (with Brando and Broderick). Instead, it was like The Sopranos, if it was told from the point of view of a wannabe made-man’s nephew who works as a chef trying to keep his head down and his life away from the mob. The summary claims this is a “wildly funny, irreverent tale of murder, mayhem, and the mob.” This was not funny at all, unless your idea of humor includes mob violence (knee capping, faces into meat grinders, cherry bombs in mouths), drugs (from seedy dens to addiction), and detailed explanations about the restaurant business. The narrator embraced mafia accents and F bomb-laden writing with gusto. Unfortunately, all that did was further repel me from this book. This was not the “wildly funny, irreverent” story I was looking for.
