FOOD AND THE CITY
New York's Professional Chefs, Restaurateurs, Line Cooks, Street Vendors, and Purveyors Talk About What They Do and Why They Do It
Ina Yalof’s FOOD AND THE CITY is a unique look behind the curtain at some of New York’s most famous eateries from the mouths of everyone from the chefs and restaurant owners, to suppliers, line cooks, oyster shuckers, food truck proprietors, and more.
New York is the city that never stops eating. From world-class restaurants to the local pizza joint, tourists and native New Yorkers alike flock to the establishments that make the city a global culinary powerhouse. In FOOD AND THE CITY, Yalof sits down with the men and women who form New York’s gastronomic backbone, including the guy who sells halal out of his truck on the corner of 53rd and 6th, the Executive Chef in Rupert Murdoch’s dining room at News Corp., the inventor of the infamous cronut, and so many more. These luminaries—who came to New York from all walks of life, all over the globe—share the personal histories that brought them to their current endeavors, the moments that changed the course of their careers, the real goings-on in the kitchen and the back office, and their secrets for success in one of the toughest markets in the world.
This oral history is full of unexpected moments that will appeal to everyone from amateurs to veteran cooks to those who simply love to eat. FOOD AND THE CITY is a carefully constructed tour that reads like a conversation with some of the most celebrated stars in the business. In their own words, these chefs and entrepreneurs reveal the many faces of the city that they all call home.
