Cellar rat : my life in the restaurant underbelly / Selinger, Hannah

"As Hannah Selinger will tell you, to be a good restaurant employee is to be invisible. At the height of her career as a server and then sommelier at some of New York's most famed dining institutions, Hannah was the hand that folded your napkin while you were in the bathroom, the employee silently slipping into the night through a side door after serving meals worth more than her rent. During her tenure, Selinger rubbed shoulders with David Chang, Bobby Flay, Johnny Iuzzini, and countless other food celebrities of the early 2000's. Her position allowed her access to a life she never expected; the lavish parties, the tasting courses, the wildly expensive wines-the rare world we see romanticized in countless movies and television shows. But the thing about being invisible is that people forget you're there, and most act differently when they think no one is looking. In CELLAR RAT, Selinger chronicles her rise and fall in the restaurant business, beginning with the gritty hometown pub where she fell in love with the industry and ending with her final post serving celebrities at the Hampton's classic Nick & Tony's. In between, readers will join Hannah on her emotional journey as she learns the joys of fine dining, the allure and danger of power, and what it takes to walk away from a career you love when it no longer serves you"--

How to share an egg : a true story of hunger, love, and plenty / Reichert, Bonny

Bonny Reichert avoided engaging with her family's Holocaust history until, in midlife, she unexpectedly confronted it while writing an article. Her father's survival in Auschwitz-Birkenau was a backdrop to her upbringing, but a transformative experience in Warsaw -- a perfect bowl of borscht -- sparked a journey to explore her culinary roots. This journey intertwined with her personal life, from her childhood in the restaurant business to the challenges of marriage, motherhood, and her eventual path to becoming a chef. In her memoir How to Share an Egg, Reichert reflects on pivotal life moments through the lens of food. From her baba Sarah's knishes to her father's comforting scrambled eggs, cuisine serves as a symbol of joy, survival, and identity. The book blends poignant stories of scarcity and abundance with her quest for self-discovery, exploring how her personal experiences connect to her family's legacy. It's a moving meditation on heritage, resilience, and the role of food in shaping identity.
