About this book

Michael Cecchi-Azzolina recounts his working life in New York City restaurants, focusing on the dining room rather than the kitchen. Greeting guests, managing staff and handling difficult customers form the daily work behind an evening out. His memoir considers the friendships, pressures and unusual personalities that sustain a career in hospitality.
