Thank you netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book.
This wasn’t for me. I’ve worked in kitchens…many many years ago. It was nothing like what he described. Half of what he wrote about just grossed me out. I guess I’m too much of a prude. Some of the information/stories were interesting. At times, though, he’s drop in a bit of information that didn’t belong. It was as though he just wanted to name drop.
Going through the decades of restaurant work was interesting to hear about though. The aids epidemic played a bit part but felt rather brushed over. The narrator was good.
