PRICK WITH A FORK

Kitchen Confidential meets He Died With a Felafel in His Hand; this is a laugh-out-loud funny expose of the restaurant industry.

A hilarious and horrific dissection of the restaurant industry from the waiter's point of view, Prick with a Fork is a statement rather than an instruction! Larissa Dubecki takes us back to those dives, psycho chefs and awful restaurant owners, in a blackly comic overview of the restaurant industry. This comical exposé will be the ultimate insider’s guide. A confessional yet cautionary tale for anyone who’s ever wondered what really goes on behind the scenes—and a horrendous trip down memory lane for the countless legions who have brought their own brand of ineptitude and resentment to the waiting profession. A therapy for former waiters, a revelation to diners; and pure reading pleasure for anyone interested in what really happens out the back of the restaurant. Dining out will never be the same again! LARISSA DUBECKI is the chief restaurant critic and food writer for The Age newspaper and The Age Good Food Guide and has been a restaurant critic for the Australian Gourmet Traveller. Prior to her food-writing career, Larissa has been a features writer and news reporter. She has appeared on MasterChef a number of times and has appeared as a judge on Iron Chef Australia. From 1991-2002 she admits to being a very bad waitress!
