A front-of-the-house Kitchen Confidential from a career maître d'hotel who manned the front of the room in New York City's hottest and most in-demand restaurants.

What The Reviewers Say

Mark Knoblauch,
Booklist
Fans of the late Anthony Bourdain will here find similar tales of restaurant life, this time from the perspective of the front of the house..

Publishers Weekly
Riveting debut.

Kirkus
Fast-paced, long on the meticulous details of service, unsparing of the salacious tales of sex, drugs, alcohol, run-ins with the mob, 'jumpers' within view of the River Café, and much more. Readers interested in the who’s who of the NYC celebrity world will not be disappointed.
