Anthony Bourdain’s tell-all book, “Kitchen Confidential,” rose to the top of Amazon’s best-seller list on Friday, following news that the former chef and TV host committed suicide.
The updated 2007 paperback version of “Kitchen Confidential” swiftly surpassed the just-released debut novel from James Patterson and former President Bill Clinton, “The President is Missing,” for the top spot on the list. Bourdain’s followup, “Medium Raw,” ranks as fifth on Amazon’s list as well.
The original, 2000 hardcover edition of “Kitchen Confidential” currently stands at sixth on the list.
Some fans of Bourdain took to the customer reviews section for “Kitchen Confidential” Friday morning to share their condolences.
