Review # 1 was written on 2011-04-19 00:00:00 Robert Mcdougal I give the author credit for trying, but the book seems to have limited appeal -- those into the New York high end scene, as well as those with an interest in the business end of things should get the most out of it. The first section was a strong start, featuring Shaw's apprenticeships and behind-the-scenes anecdotes, though those who've read several other restaurant staff books might find the revelations not-so-new. He closes well in decrying (almost mocking) purists, who criticize any small deviations from "tradition" at all. Recommended, if your library has a copy, or you see it cheap at a used bookstore. Those who go further out of their way to read it may end up disappointed. |
