Waiter Rant by Steve Dublanica

I had to put off reading this because it came out in hardback. I hate hardback. This is the reason I have yet to read Jen Lancaster's latest. I just refuse to pay extra for a big, bulky book that is hard to read in bed. So, I have to wait. If I could just get my boyfriend on board with buying me a Kindle . . .

 Ahem.

I have read Waiter Rant for years. I love blogs gone book, but I am always wary that it's just going to be the same stuff I've already read. Lucky for me, Waiter Rant by Steve Dublanica seemed new and fresh, if maybe slightly familar.

The thing is, Steve is just so damn likeable. He struggles with his life and his choices, just like everyone, but the way he views life is just so unique and inspiring. After every chapter I just thought "man, I like this guy".

The inside view of running a high-end restaurant in Manhatten is fascinating. Who ever imagined all of the politics going on behind the scenes of meal out? This is one of the points of the book. I like to think that I am respectful of my waiters and a good tipper, but I have never thought about some of this stuff.

It's a great book. Whether you have read the blog or not, you won't be able to put it down.
