Restaurant Man by Joe Bastianich
The New York Times Bestselling Book--Great gift for Foodies"The best, funniest, most revealing inside look at the restaurant biz since Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential." -Jay McInerney
With a foreword by Mario Batali
Joe Bastianich is unquestionably one of the most successful restaurateurs in America-if not the world. So how did a nice Italian boy from Queens turn his passion for food and wine into an empire? In Restaurant Man, Joe charts a remarkable journey that first began in his parents' neighborhood eatery. Along the way, he shares fascinating stories about his establishments and his superstar chef partners-his mother, Lidia Bastianich, and Mario Batali.
Ever since Anthony Bourdain whet literary palates with Kitchen Confidential, restaurant memoirs have been mainstays of the bestseller lists. Serving up equal parts rock 'n' roll and hard-ass business reality, Restaurant Man is a compelling ragu-to-riches chronicle that foodies and aspiring restauranteurs alike will be hankering to read.
Joe Bastianich opened his first restaurant, Becco, with his mother, Lidia, in 1993. He and partner Mario Batali have since established some of New York s most celebrated restaurants, including Babbo, Del Posto, Lupa, Esca, Otto Enoteca Pizzeria, and Eataly, as well as restaurants in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. He also appears as a judge on Fox TV s Master Chef.
