About this listen

Culinary Leverage: A Journey Through the Heat is about exposing the dysfunction of an industry through the eyes of a highly decorated chef who, through hard-won experience, resilience and grief, soul searching and moments of reckoning, finds a healthier way forward, not just for himself but for the restaurant business as a whole.

Travel with Chef Keane as his passion for hard work and cooking is ignited as a young kid growing up in Dearborn, Michigan. Cheer for him as he follows his dream to the gritty but seductive streets and kitchens of New York City and realizes his vocation. Empathize with him as he encounters and confronts bullies and egos hell-bent on destroying the dream. And root for him as he charges forth with a revolutionary new approach and strives to create an unparalleled magical journey at Cyrus for his guests and team, one based on style and substance with a conscience and connection.

"...raw, humble, and darkly funny."—Chef Jacques Pepin

"Honest. Eye-opening. Harrowing. Brilliant."—Neal Katyal, former acting solicitor general of the United States

"...a framework for living that applies equally to the pro kitchen, the boardroom, and the family table."—Gail Simmons, food expert, TV host, and author of Bringing It Home
