Add a CommentMy first clue that this wasn't going to be the best was when the author explained that the name of the restaurant wd-50 was both a play on the owner's name and the address AND a play on WD-40, and then goes on to explain what WD-40 is. Overall, it's an interesting read about getting to live and work so many places, if not the most well written.
I was a bit disappointed in this book. I love reading memoirs, especially about food, but this one fell a little flat. Beyond the fact that Shockey was lucky enough to not need to work after college and got the opportunity to intern at four amazing restaurants, there wasn't much else going on in this book.
