A summer job in a Cape Cod resort town, a kitchen running hot, and a nineteen-year-old with no plan past the next shift. Matt Johnson co-writes and directs this account of Anthony Bourdain's early years cooking in Provincetown, Massachusetts, the stretch that later supplied stories for his 2000 memoir Kitchen Confidential.

Dominic Sessa plays Bourdain long before the books and the television work. Emilia Jones, Leo Woodall, Stavros Halkias, Dagmara Dominczyk and Rich Sommer fill out the restaurant and the town around him, with Antonio Banderas in the cast. Johnson pitches it as comedy and drama at once, so expect service-industry humor and the closed-ranks loyalty of a line crew, with a young man's summer quietly setting the course of the rest of his life.

Readers who know Kitchen Confidential get the origin of that voice, the season before Bourdain had a voice at all. Anyone coming in cold gets a coming-of-age story told among cooks, dishwashers and a seasonal town that empties out once the weather turns. It arrives in 2026.
