An Instant New York Times Bestseller! A candid funny and occasionally devastating memoir of a woman making her way through the food world navigating addiction a cultural reckoning and an unexpected tragedy In this moving hilarious and insightful bestselling memoir Laurie Woolever traces her path from a small-town childhood to working at revered restaurants and food publications alternately bolstered and overshadowed by two of the most powerful men in the business. But there’s more to the story than the two bold-faced names on her resume: Mario Batali and Anthony Bourdain. Behind the scenes Laurie’s life is frequently chaotic an often pleasurable buffet of bad decisions at which she frequently overstays her welcome. Acerbic and wryly self-deprecating Laurie attempts to carve her own space as a woman in this world that is by turns toxic and intoxicating. Laurie seeks to try it all—from a seedy Atlantic City strip club to the Park Hyatt Tokyo from a hippie vegetarian co-op to the legendary El Bulli—while balancing her consuming work with her sometimes ambivalent relationship to marriage and motherhood. As the food world careens toward an overdue reckoning and Laurie’s mentors face their own high-profile descents she is confronted with the questions of where she belongs and how to hold on to the parts of her life’s work that she truly values: care and feeding.
