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. Due out on October 17, the book is now available for pre-order.
