An enjoyable and interesting look behind the scenes at the world of catering and the complicated logistics involved in the synchronized serving of quality food in mass quantities. ( )Esta crítica foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Críticos do LibraryThing. Fun to read, a side of the catering world one doesn't usually stop to contemplate! For those not in the industry, this is an insider's view and a great perspective. Esta crítica foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Críticos do LibraryThing. Hotbox originally interested me because my husband has been a restaurant chef for decades, but in the midst of reading the book he moved into a new position where he has additional banquet/catering responsibilities. So much of what the Lee brothers encounter in their journey through off-site catering rings true to his experiences. I was so interested in how the real masters of catering are the on-site staff who are masters of the proofers, working to make all the off-the-wall requests made by the party planners come off flawlessly. I don't know if this book would be quite as appealing to a reader less in tune with the industry, or one less familiar with the New York City settings (the neighborhoods, cultural landmarks, and surrounding bucolic escapes of the Hamptons and the Hudson Valley are all vibrant characters in this story) but I certainly enjoyed it. This advanced reader addition lacked much of the artwork and I'd be interested to check out those illustrations in the final edition. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
"Hotbox reveals the real-life drama behind cavernous event spaces and soaring white tents, where cooking conditions have more in common with a mobile army hospital than a restaurant. Known for their modern take on Southern cooking, the Lee brothers steeped themselves in the catering business for four years, learning the culture from the inside-out. It's a realm where you find eccentric characters, working in extreme conditions, who must produce magical events and instantly adapt when, for instance, the host's toast runs a half-hour too long, a hail storm erupts, or a rolling rack of hundreds of ice cream desserts goes wheels-up. Whether they're dashing through black-tie fundraisers, celebrity-spotting at a Hamptons cookout, or following a silverware crew at 3:00 a.m. in a warehouse in New Jersey, the Lee brothers guide you on a romp from the inner circle--the elite team of chefs using little more than their wits and Sterno to turn out lamb shanks for eight hundred--to the outer reaches of the industries that facilitate the most dazzling galas. You'll never attend a party--or entertain on your own--in the same way after reading this book."--Page [2] of cover. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
