In the narrative “Food Is Good” author Anthony Bourdain humorously details the beginning of his journey with food. Bourdain uses lively dialogue with an acerbic style that sets his writing apart from the norm. His story began during his childhood and told of the memories that reverberated into his adulthood, and consequently changed his life forever.

People like Mizutani, a former apprentice of Jiro, and Yamamoto, a food critic, are interviewed. The honest opinions help show the deeper meaning of Jiro and his worth ethics. Yamamoto and Mizutani serve as narrators that tell the story of why Jiro is considered to be the most successful sushi chef of all time. For instance, Yamamoto says “I’ve seen many chefs who are self-critical, but I’ve never seen another chef who is so hard on himself” (site). Yamamoto provides an insight on how Jiro is successful because Jiro is always looking ahead and is never satisfied with his work. He describes Jiro as always looking for new ways to make sushi better and improve his skills. Mizutani a former apprentice is interviewed during the documentary and provides an insight on how Jiro’s son, Yoshikazu will have great difficulty taking his place. “Even if Yoshikazu makes the same level of sushi, it will be seen as inferior” (Quote). This interview shows how Jiro is the hardest worker and his work ethic is that to run a restaurant you need to be tough. Another interview with Yamamoto describes the five things a chef needs to be successful. These five things are: “they take all their work very seriously and consistently perform to the highest level, they aspire to improve their skills. Cleanliness. If the restaurant doesn’t feel clean, the food isn’t going to taste good. Impatience. They are better leaders than collaborators; they are stubborn and insist on having it their way. Finally, a great chef is passionate”

When choosing a famous culinarian I probably should have chosen someone a bit more famous like Paula Deen, Gordon Ramsey, or Anthony Bourdain. At least that way I would have a plethora of bios, summaries, and different multi medias to work with, who mind you are all amazing chefs and have made great names for themselves. But they are all “cookie cutter” chefs. They each have amazing talent and great TV personalities. But what have any of them done to enhance our industry?
James Beard was a food critic and chef. “He was a pioneer foodie, host of the first food program on the fledgling medium of television in 1946” (Ungaro 1). James Beard was born on May 5, 1903, in Portland, Oregon. Beard and his mother both had a desire for cooking. Beard attended college in 1923 at “Reed College” in Oregon (Notable Oregonians: James Beard: Food Expert, Writer 2). In 1937, Beard finally realized that he loved to cook and wanted to carry that passion on for the rest of his life. In 1940, Beard made his “first major cookbook devoted exclusively to cocktail food, Hors d’Oeuvre & Canapés. In 1942 he followed it up with Cook It Outdoors, the first serious work on outdoor cooking” (Ungaro 3). His love of cooking was made

Raised in sSouthern Louisiana, it is not a surprise that Donald Link was engulfed with the culinary art of Cajun food from a young age. As a child he began to cook with his grandfather, which seeded a love for culinary. This later led him into beginning his professional cooking career at age of fifteen, working in little restaurants in Louisiana. He then took his budding enthusiasm and talents to San Francisco, where he further developed his culinary skills at the California Culinary Academy. In addition, he cooked at famous San Francisco eateries in his spare time, such as the Flying Saucer and Elite Café. Once he completed his culinary courses at the Academy, Chef Link returned to Louisiana where he opened the first of his five restaurants, Herbsaint in New Orleans with Chef Susan Spicer. The success of Herbsaint drove him to open another restaurant six years later in the spring of 2006. Link opened his tribute to the Cajun foods and techniques that sparked his now long and successful career, Cochon Restaurant in New Orleans. A year later, in 2007, Donald Link was nominated for the James Beard award for Best Chef of the South, while Cochon Restaurant was nominated for Best New Restaurant in the same year. In 2012 and 2013, Link was also nominated for honorable award of Outstanding Chef by the same foundation. Gourmet Magazine listed Herbsaint as one of the top fifty restaurants in America, and was inducted into the News Hall of Fame.
"Chef has been just inspired through the time when I was still basically a teenager. I was working at this one hotel for a summer job and was placed in various locations as far as to help them out and one of them was pastry.
