"If the Gaia book was me gardening, this book is me cooking, minus all the expletives. Ok, with all the expletives. I had heard rumours of Shopsin's existence for awhile now, but without any clear idea of what we were talking about.
The place ran for awhile like the restaurant I always wanted to open, where you could order anything you want. But he says, that put too much onus on the customer. His menu ran at one time to 900 items, and it seems that if you can't pick quickly then he is quite willing to throw you out.
This cookbook is a rare melding of memoir and functional recipes. He 'deconstructs' categories of foods like soups and pancakes, and reassembles them according to his and his customer's wishes.
If I ever go, I have settled upon the mac n cheese pancakes, just so I don't get tossed on my rear."
"Simply put, if you have to only own one book about food or cooking. This is it. It will inspire you to cook more than it will just give you recipes to copy."
"Kenny Shopsin is a genius. He isn't a gourmet, he's just an opinionated old crank who cares - deeply - about food. This is more than just a cookbook. It's part manifesto, part memoir, and all heart. If I lived in New York, Kenny could fed me every day (if he didn't throw me out)."
