This ended up being different from what I expected. Instead of essays about the establishments themselves, it is more about the different people and the roles they play within the restaurants, food carts, catering companies and bakeries. Ranging from owners, chefs, line cooks and waiters, these stories explore the immigrants, entrepreneurs, families and foodies that make up New York City. Each essay begins with a simple summary from the author and then a two to three page narrative in the words of the interviewee. I really enjoyed this slice of restaurant life and it made me appreciate what went on behind the scenes of local eateries. I received this book from Penguin's First to Read program in exchange for an honest review.
