Back of the House: The Secret Life of a Restaurant by Scott Haas
4.0
Read my full thoughts on this book and hundreds more over at Read.Write.Repeat.
Scott Haas obviously shares my interest in the culinary wrld. He spent over a year observing and working with the crew at Craigie on Main. It's one of the top restaurants in Boston - in the country, really. At the helm is Chef Tony Maws. As is true of many chefs, he's a complicated character. Part of Haas' goal was to determine Maws' motivations and what exactly led him to such success. By the end of the book, you don't necessarily feel that Haas came any closer to answering his initial questions, but the journey was worthwhile of its own accord.
