THE DISH: The Lives and Labor Behind One Plate of Food - NOW ON SALE!
THE DISH: THE LIVES AND LABOR BEHIND ONE PLATE OF FOOD presents a snapshot of the contemporary chef, restaurant, and farming communities as reflected in one dish at Chicago's Wherewithall restaurant. Told during a service during the challenging days of summer 2021, and brought to life by drawing on in-depth interviews with all major characters, the book presents profiles of chefs, cooks, servers, dishwashers, farmers, field workers, delivery truck drivers, and other crucial figures in the long line of people required to bring a restaurant dish to life.

My advice is to pick a chef you've never heard of and take the time to listen to his/her story. Andrew has a knack for finding a connection with his guests that often leads down an unexpected but interesting path.
