I'm obsessed with women writers of the chef experience books. Any of them, all of them; I'll even read all the male authors' books just to waste some time until I find another good one. So I figured this would be perfect for me. I've heard the author so many times on so many podcasts that I feel like she's a relative, writing for me. But this book is not that book. This book is way, way down in the weeds of cooking, restauranting, interactions in the back of house, all the nasty stuff you have to do to do this very hard work, all while being female. Somehow it was so in the nasty details, way back there in the back of the house, that I couldn't read more than the first few chapters. I love her voice and her stories and her adventures when she's talking on air, being interviewed. I hated it here. Not sure why - she seems so real and so gritty and gutsy and fascinating, and who doesn't love the title? Maybe I'll try again. But for now, I'll stick to hearing her beautiful snark out loud.
