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)
