Get this guy an editor. No really. A ruthless one who will help him cut out all the mind-numbing detail that no one needs. I get that this is a book for foodies and I've read a whole lot of chef/food people memoirs. This one is interesting, in parts, but I don't need a run down of every single day he ever encounters a new chef or farmer or sommolier or fellow student or person who is remotely related to the food industry. It's just too much.
