Service Included: Four-Star Secrets of an Eavesdropping Waiter

SERVICE INCLUDED: FOUR-STAR SECRETS OF AN EAVESDROPPING WAITER: Phoebe Damrosch: William Morrow Publishing: Biography: 240 pgs.

If you enjoy watching the Food Network then this memoir may be for you. It's an entertaining story from a young woman struggling to pursue a writing career. She took some time off from getting her degree to work in an upscale restaurant in NYC. Along the way she finds love, and an appreciation for gourmet food. This was an interesting look into a world most of us never have a chance to experience, a world of 15 course meals that can take up to 6 hours and 30 different utensils. I enjoyed her stories of strange and wonderful customers, as well as the behind-the- scenes look into the kitchen of a four- star restaurant.
