Awesome book. I admire how Buford "did his time" to understand wheree chefs like Mario are coming from and what their experience is learning their craft. I would make anyone considering becoming a chef to read the book.
BTW - I'm giving copies of "United States of Arugula" away in a contest at my blog, This Mama Cooks! It's also a terrific book, but this time of the evolution of gourmet cooking in the US. A great read for any foodie.

Eve - That was a very amusing digestion of Heat, but they left out the Dante!
