Everybody Eats There by William Stadiem
Your best friend just returned from a week in a world capital. Your first question is "Where did you eat?" In New York, you're hoping it was La Grenouille or Da Silvano, the Four Seasons or Balthazar. In L.A., Toscana, Spago, the Ivy, or Mr. Chow. In London, the Savoy Grill or River Cafe; in Paris La Tour d'Argent or Chez l'Ami Louis. Because at all these places, the mayor is in one corner, the richest man in town in another, and the middle is filled with actors and actresses, dukes and princesses, senators and presidents...it's where everybody eats. Here's a tour of 80 of these restaurants - of their back stories and back rooms, of their menus and off-the-menu specialities, of their clientele and chefs. Of what it's like to be there. Of how it got that way. And why. London restaurants featured are: La Famiglia, Cipriani, San Lorenzo, River Cafe, Savoy Grill, Claridge's, The Connaught, The Ivy, Le Caprice, China Tang, and Sweetings. Profile sidebars include: Mark Birley, Marco Pierre White, Gordon Ramsay and David Tang.
William Stadiem is the author of such bestsellers as Mr. S: My Life with Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe Confidential, and Dear Senator: A Memoir by the Daughter of Strom Thurmond, as well as such acclaimed works of social history as Too Rich: The High Life and Tragic Death of King Farouk. He writes for Vanity Fair and has been the Hollywood columnist for Andy Warhol's Interview and the restaurant critic for Los Angeles Magazine. A Harvard JD-MBA and former Wall Street-based international lawyer, Stadiem is also a screenwriter whose credits include Elizabeth Taylor's last starring vehicle, Franco Zeffirelli's Young Toscanini, and the television series L.A. Law.
