BRUNCH IS HELL
Rico Gagliano Brendan Francis Newman
How to Save the World by Throwing a Dinner Party
The hosts of the wildly popular podcast, The Dinner Party Download, Rico Gagliano and Brendan Francis Newnam have written the ultimate guide to hosting a soiree: an easy-to-follow manual for maximizing your party's spectacularness and saying no to overpriced Eggs Benedict, watered-down cocktails, and long lines, or in other words, the leisure-time-killing hellscape that is brunch.
They're just the gentlemen to do it. Each week on their podcast and public radio show, Rico and Brendan share the urbane wit and adult pleasures of a terrific dinner party with nearly a million other listeners as they discuss life, art, culture, news, and what's for dessert.
Dinner parties are the key to a grown-up, civilized, satisfying life, but the art of throwing one is, sadly, fading. Brunch is Hell demystifies invitations, food, drink, and decor, and shows how you can uncork memorable conversations and laughter that rolls into the wee hours. It also includes funny - but practical - solutions to common party pitfalls, including a formula to determine who gets the last piece of food on a communal plate, and a guide to making the ultimate dinner party playlist.
In the bestselling tradition of Adulting and Amy Sedaris's I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence, this is an entertaining, informative book about how to become the most interesting person you know.
