Corporate glossy version of the restaurant trade This is pretty light on any of the blood and guts behind the scenes of the restaurant business but does have its points in terms of the psychology of customer interaction and the selection of employees for your business. Meyer's 51 percent rule of hiring people who bring a greater share of emotional skills vs a lower share of technical skills (which can in most cases be taught and learned) is something of wider use beyond the food business. For a more grittier, albeit fictionalized, view of the Union Square Café group see Stephanie Danler's "Sweetbitter." aucune critique | ajouter une critique

When the author talked about his privileged upbringing, he seemed rather humble and down to earth. But when he detailed the openings of each of his restaurants and other various business events, the book began to feel like a really long, boring, arrogant commercial.
Meyer is obviously a foodie, and there are many foreign food terms, especially wine names, that I had no idea how to pronounce. If wine and fine dining is your thing, you'll probably enjoy this.
There is some profanity and a story about a woman's cleavage that I could have done without. ( )
