Book description
The entertaining, irreverent, and surprisingly moving memoir by the visionary restaurateur behind such iconic New York establishments as Balthazar and Pastis. A memoir by the legendary proprietor of Balthazar, Pastis, Minetta Tavern, and Morandi, taking us from his gritty London childhood to his serendipitous arrival in New York, where he founded the era-defining establishments Odeon, Cafe Luxembourg, and Nell's. Eloquent and opinionated, Keith McNally writes about his stint as a child actor, his travels along the hippie trail, his wives and children, his devastating stroke, and his Instagram stardom.

π Turning my phone into a portal of stories β this app's ease of use is remarkable! π±π« User-centric audiobook joy β this app's ease of use is a true marvel. My daily workouts are more enjoyable now, thanks to seamless integration with Apple Watch. Fairly enjoyable, but forgettable. I didnβt have any major complaints, but I also donβt see myself revisiting this one. It was a decent way to spend a few hours, though. The narrator was good but spoke a bit too slowly for my taste. I had to speed it up to 1.2x which then made some parts sound slightly unnatural.
