A decent memoir, though a lot of the toxicity of the restaurant industry has already been well-documented. Laurie’s personal struggles were not particularly unique - low self esteem, drinking, listless marriage, and body image - but I found myself sympathetic. Frustrating to read her write about how restricted eating solved her weight problems- without interrogating that “solution” very much. Not one I would return to. I’ve read enough about Mario batali and Anthony bourdain in other media.
