Back of the House: The Secret Life of a Restaurant by Scott Haas
5.0
**I received this book in a First Reads giveaway.**
4 1/2 stars: I was predisposed to love this book, having had two of the most delicious and important celebratory meals of my life (30th birthday and 1-year anniversary) at Craigie on Main. I also love a good foodie book. So to have a book about one of my favorite restaurants as well as a behind-the-scenes look at the food, the cooks, and, most importantly, the chef of one of the country's best restaurants...it was a no-brainer for me. I'm sure I maybe would have loved this book a little less if I wasn't familiar with Tony Maws or Craigie, but that's not the case. Awesome read, and now, for me, a special book to keep on my shelf.
