Waiter Rant: Thanks for the Tip-Confessions of a Cynical Waiter by The Waiter
3.0
Would recommend: Maybe
I guess I had low expectations of this book when I grabbed it off our shelves ("I need something quick, something nonfiction... okay!"), because I realized that after I had finished it, I thought it was better than I thought it would be, but it still wasn't that great. There are moments of greatness, but it felt very "Anthony Bourdain works the front of the house" to me, and maybe I read this too quickly after Kitchen Confidential. In any case, there is a ton of profanity, as would be expected from the food industry, and I skipped a chapter after getting squeamish from a description of mad cow disease. So. Fair warning.
