Your Table Is Ready: Tales of a New York City Maître D'

Thanks to Libro.fm and the publisher for the audio!

As someone who spent several years in a restaurant (although not NYC) this made me nostalgic and grateful I got out at the same time. The author really hits the nail on the head when he describes the camaraderie, addiction, and absolute moments of panic that come with restaurant work. Sometimes entertaining and sometimes depressing (just like working in a restaurant), this memoir is full of juicy tidbits. I would rec this to anyone with a history in the field, or any diner who cares to glimpse behind the curtain.
