Kim Reed

Reed has an incredibly engaging writing style, truly bringing the restaurant world to life in this read--with all its foibles, highs, and lows. I've eaten at Eataly and enjoyed perusing Spain...A Culinary Road Trip after visiting there myself, and of course, am fairly aware of Batali's fall from grace. So, I was curious to pick up the read and get an insider's perspective. It really opened my eyes to even more than I could have guessed, on all the levels.

This became a DNF for me due to show more content (language, intimacy, etc.) not in line with my personal content policy. The language I expected, to a point, but it ultimately became too much for me personally.

I received an eARC of the book from the publisher via NetGalley. All opinions are my own. show less
