"Since I've recently read Kitchen Confidential and Tender at the Bone, I thought I'd continue the food-related-memoir theme. But I'd say this book was less about life in the kitchen and more about life in a family, albeit an atypical one. Favorite part: "What she (her mom) wants for me is an even cleaner, thinner, happier life than she has. Mom made me and now she will make me better.""
"this was a great quick read. very entertaining and heartwarming. at time i felt like i was reading about my family, which was wonderful. each chapter was rich with stories about food and family and how both were intertwined. the authors family has a great history in the making of new york and deli's, and tells a great story along the way."
