I worked in two different high volume restaurants for a time, while in college. Neither were as raunchy as Bourdain describes, but we did some pretty nasty stuff and talked trash to each other pretty seriously.
Other now middle aged friends of mine who had restaurant experiences in their teens and twenties who read the book, also identified with the hijinks.
