I'm not looking for recipe books, more just a story about chefs, food, restaurant hustling etc.

Anthony Bourdain is a good choice in that case, though a lot of the books are mostly about drugs between the food.
If you want to start with the Greeks, there's Archestratos' poem, but that's mostly about fish. Some editions of it are designed for those who want to recreate the recipes, and usually published under the title The Life of Luxury.

Penguin put out a series of books of great food writing a while back, but I can't track down any ebooks other than the Charles Lamb book and the real set is expensive. I think some of the Lamb stuff is online for free.

I knew a girl who revered Anthony Bourdain and became a chef and did way too much alcohol and drugs.

Explains a lot.

Khalid Boudou, Pizza Maffia is the only book that comes to mind, and it's horrible.

michael pollan's 'in defense of food' and 'the omnivore's dilemma' may be interesting to you. for bullshit edgy stories about culinary assholes, look into 'waiter rant' and 'kitchen confidential', though from experience in working in kitchens, i would say you may do best to stick to diners, drive-ins, and dives, unironically my favourite food show.

Elizabeth David

That fact that both Penguin Classics and NYRB have published books by her should say something about her writing.

Probably the most literary non-fiction about cooking you could get.
