Back of the House: The Secret Life of a Restaurant by Scott Haas

2.0

The writer is a psychologist who writes about food, but mostly he writes about himself. He spent a year in Tony Maws' kitchen at Craigie on Main in Cambridge, MA, ostensibly to explain what motivates a chef and how he thinks. Move over, Scott. Get out of the way! This would have been much more interesting had the author not incorporated his thoughts, "I wanted to know," "Creative people experience...and I've have noticed that in pretentious, psychologists who write about food.
