Review
"White has a knockabout charm and gift of the gab . . . His breathless style is delightfully punchy, witty, fluent and opinionated" (Mail on Sunday)
"A cracking read" (Sunday Independent)
"Lists the ways restaurants abuse us, their clientele" (The Observer)
"Trevor White writes with witty intelligence and a sharply elegant pen. Once this book has dropped into the frying pan, nothing will ever be the same in the restaurant world" (A.C. Grayling, philosopher and Booker Prize judge)
"An illuminating and witty polemic on culinary egomaniacs and our obsession with eating out" (The Times Magazine)

Kitchen Con: Writing on the Restaurant Racket
Seller: World of Books Inc, Montgomery, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 2 out of 5 stars
Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Are all food critics corrupt? What's the trick for getting a table tonight in America's and Europe's most fashionable restaurants? Find out in Kitchen Con. Waiter and customer have a lot in common. Each lingers under the delusion that lunch is on the way, neither has more than a passing interest in the other, and both are at the mercy of an ill-tempered thug with a white toque, writes Trevor White in this hilarious account of life as a restaurant critic. Kitchen Con is his passionate, intelligent expose of the restaurant business, from the world's first restaurant after the French Revolution to today's most fashionable tables in London, Paris, and New York. With style and humor, White lifts the lid off the culinary cartel--owners, chefs, and critics--that cons diners around the globe. No one--not even the author himself--is spared in this riveting account of life at the heart of the restaurant racket. Seller Inventory # CIN1559708344VG
