Just because a TV show gets cancelled after only a few episodes doesn't mean there weren't tens of thousands of disappointed fans. That's the beauty of a DVD release like this one, offering all the aired and unaired episodes of this short-lived favorite directly to the public. On May 22, Kitchen Confidential - The Complete Series will be released with all 13 episodes filmed (the show was cancelled after four outings). This series has been compared to Arrested Development and The Office - it's spicy and there's a lot of energy here, but it's aimed at a different audience than myself. It's based on American chef Anthony Bourdain's book, a behind-the-scenes look at prominent restaurant kitchens. The television series debuted on the Fox network September 19, 2005. I wonder about the cumulative effect of watching shows like this - do they lead to more office romance in real life? I haven't had an office job in a while, is everybody screwing everybody now? Watching shows like this might leave you with that impression. (And were they using some of the same music cues as The Loop?) Fans of Kitchen Confidential will be pleased with the numerous episode commentaries though they are often not much more than a group of too-clever actors laughing at themselves on the screen. Only $20.00 if you order online now!

Plot Synopsis: Based on renowned chef Anthony Bourdain’s best-selling autobiography and from executive producer Darren Star (Sex and the City) and Dave Hemingson (Just Shoot Me, AMERICAN DAD ) KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL, exposes the secrets of the restaurant business through the delectable story of a talented chef who’s determined to climb back to the top of the food game. Chef JACK BOURDAIN (Bradley Cooper) found enormous success at a young age. Unfortunately, Jack’s culinary genius also led to a lifestyle of boozing, womanizing and drugs — excesses that eventually landed him in the gutter. After hitting rock bottom and deciding to sober up, the only job he could get was slopping soggy pasta for the masses at a tacky opera-themed restaurant. Out of the blue, Jack is offered an opportunity to get back in the game as head chef at a top New York restaurant. There’s just one problem: the owner gives Jack a mere 48 hours to fully staff his kitchen and prepare to dazzle over 300 customers – including the food critic for the New York Times (who also happens to be a jilted ex). Jack hastily assembles a renegade crew of colleagues from his past, including chefs STEVEN (Owain Yeoman), SETH (Nicholas Brendon) and a rookie pastry chef named JIM (John Francis Daley). Also along for the ride are TANYA (Jaime King) the hostess, and MIMI (Bonnie Somerville) the owner’s gorgeous daughter who can’t wait for Jack to fail.
