Who was Bourdain Bigfoot in Book

WHO is BIGFOOT ?

In ANTHONY BOURDAIN'S

KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL

BIGFOOT



BIG FOOT


A question most asked by restaurant professionals in New York who love Tony Bourdain  and his minor-masterpiece Kitchen Confidential on the underbelly of the New York Restaurant World and the restaurant scene in general. Yes, you read Anthony Bourdain's New York Times Best Seller and what launched Tony into fame as the Star of such shows as : A COOKS TOUR,  NO RESERVATIONS, The LAYOVER, and PARTS UNKNOWN on CNN.

 In KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL Tony talks with adulation of his former boss whom Tony called  BigFoot . Tony expounds on Big Foot's unconventional managerial skills in the restaurant business in New York and the many things he learned from him. Bourdain never mentions the guys name, so it has been the source of major intrigue to all who have read Anthony Bourdain's entertaining book.



So you ask, who the Hell is He? Who is Big Foot ?


Answer : ANDY MENSCHEL is Tony Bourdain's BIG FOOT






Andy Menschel

aka  "BIG FOOT"

Duck Dumplings Noodletown CHINATOWN NYC




GREAT NEW YORK NOODLETOWN

"BEST SHRIMP WONTON SOUP in TOWN


Yes, the Best Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup in town ($7.50) – I've been eating this dish since 1983, and "I Love It." There are no better wontons in town. The wrappers are gossamer thin and trail off like jellyfish into the rich brown broth. Rather than the usual pork or shrimp-and-pork filling, these bulge with shrimp alone, posing the question, “How many shrimp can you stuff in a wonton?” Indeed, jumbo shrimp are one of Noodletown’s signatures, with salt-baked shrimp ($19) another great order.






SHRIMP WONTON SOUP

Their Most FAMOUS DISH






ROAT DUCK

"I LOVE IT"

I used to Go to EAT DUCK in CHINATOWN, 2 Times a WEEK

"For YEARS" !!!



Choice of three Barbecued items on rice ($9.75) – The Chinese roasted meats (“Siu Mei”) hanging in the window is the soul of the cuisine, representing meat preparation methods so succulent that every bite is a salty and slightly sweet delight. The choices include lacquered strips of char siu pork, crisp-skinned baby pig, meaty Cantonese roast duck, and steamed chicken delicately flavored with scallions. You can’t make a wrong choice, but the baby pig (“roast pig” on the menu) is so popular, it sometimes runs out early in the day. Look in the window before you order, because bright-red cuttlefish, pork ribs, and chicken wings are sometimes additionally available. Make sure you request the green ginger-and-scallion sauce sometimes known as jiang rong.
