Never order fish on Mondays

According to Anthony Bourdain, the fish on Mondays is leftovers from the order on Thursday in preparation for the Friday and Saturday rush. And that’s why you’ll see “Chef’s Special!” as they try to offload on Monday.

And there are lots of other tidbits in his seminal book, Kitchen Confidential.

I highly recommend the audio—something about Bourdain’s voice that is so inspiring.
