amazing....
i felt like the chef was talking to me, like i was in his class.. raw, not so much cleaning as far as grammar . i liked it because it was real. it is the only book that has guided me through leadership within my kitchen.

Great book!
Loads of information that inspires and motivates. This is my second reread of it and many of the things I've learned and implemented have helped me advance in my own career.
