kitchen confidential

one of the best shows no longer on television.
it's a story about a brilliant chef and recovering mess of a human, jack bourdain (yes, as in loosely based on anthony bourdain and his book of the same title) given one last chance for redemption. he gathers together a motley crew of cooks and comedy ensues!

...seriously, though, it's wicked funny (and the source of one of my favorite cooking quotes ever*). although only four episodes ever aired in the US before fox canceled it (same season arrested development was canceled, in a perfect storm of poor judgment), all the episodes are available on dvd, as well as on hulu. at 13 episodes of 20 minutes each, it can be done in one slightly embarrassingly long sitting/binge.
