Story
In an industry where celebrity chefs are known as much for their salty talk and quick tempers as their food, Eric Ripert stands out. The winner of four James Beard Awards, co-owner and chef of a world-renowned restaurant, and recipient of countless Michelin stars, Ripert embodies elegance and culinary perfection. But before the accolades, before he even knew how to make a proper hollandaise sauce, Eric Ripert was a lonely young boy in the south of France whose life was falling apart.

In the nearly two years since Anthony Bourdain's death, no one else has come close to filling the void he left. His passion for and genuine curiosity about the people and cultures he visited made the world feel smaller and more connected. Despite his affable, confident, and trademark snarky TV persona, the real Tony was intensely private, deeply conflicted about his fame, and an enigma even to those close to him. Tony’s devoted crew knew him best, and no one else had a front-row seat for as long as his director and producer, Tom Vitale.

Before Gabrielle Hamilton opened her acclaimed New York restaurant Prune, she spent 20 fierce, hard-living years trying to find purpose and meaning in her life. Above all she sought family, particularly the thrill and the magnificence of the one from her childhood that, in her adult years, eluded her. Hamilton’s ease and comfort in a kitchen were instilled in her at an early age when her parents hosted grand parties, often for more than 100 friends and neighbors. The smells of spit-roasted lamb, apple wood smoke, and rosemary garlic marinade became necessary to her.

Story
A groundbreaking, candid, well-sourced - but definitely unauthorized - biography of the celebrity chef and TV star Anthony Bourdain, based on extensive interviews with those who knew him intimately.
Written by: Charles Leerhsen
Publisher's Summary
New York Times Best Seller
From the chef behind Momofuku and star of Netflix’s Ugly Delicious - an intimate account of the making of a chef, the story of the modern restaurant world that he helped shape, and how he discovered that success can be much harder to understand than failure.
Named one of the best books of the year by:
- NPR
- Fortune
- Parade
- The New York Public Library
- Garden & Gun
In 2004, Momofuku Noodle Bar opened in a tiny, stark space in Manhattan’s East Village. Its young chef-owner, David Chang, worked the line, serving ramen and pork buns to a mix of fellow restaurant cooks and confused diners whose idea of ramen was instant noodles in Styrofoam cups. It would have been impossible to know it at the time - and certainly Chang would have bet against himself - but he, who had failed at almost every endeavor in his life, was about to become one of the most influential chefs of his generation, driven by the question, “What if the underground could become the mainstream?”
Chang grew up the youngest son of a deeply religious Korean American family in Virginia. Graduating college aimless and depressed, he fled the States for Japan, hoping to find some sense of belonging. While teaching English in a backwater town, he experienced the highs of his first full-blown manic episode, and began to think that the cooking and sharing of food could give him both purpose and agency in his life.
Full of grace, candor, grit, and humor, Eat a Peach chronicles Chang’s switchback path. He lays bare his mistakes and wonders about his extraordinary luck as he recounts the improbable series of events that led him to the top of his profession. He wrestles with his lifelong feelings of otherness and inadequacy, explores the mental illness that almost killed him, and finds hope in the shared value of deliciousness. Along the way, Chang gives us a penetrating look at restaurant life, in which he balances his deep love for the kitchen with unflinching honesty about the industry’s history of brutishness and its uncertain future.
What the critics say
“With humor, pathos and heaping spoonsful of self-deprecation ... Eat a Peach is an honest, ugly, raw dish of a book.” (The Wall Street Journal)
“An entertaining, admirably candid self-assessment of life in the foodie fast lane.” (Kirkus Reviews)
“Foodies and chefs alike will dig into Chang’s searing memoir.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

So many threads coming into a wonderful tapstery.
David Chang said this book can be a history text of the food world of the last 20 years, it is that and so much more. This book can help those wanting to start any kind of business, young people who are looking for their place in the world, those wanting to change and those with depression and other mental illnesses. I am giving this book to my sons who are in their twenties as there are so many important life lessons contained in this entertaining book.

Honest eviscerating self-critique well worth reading.
Itd be easy to think that whoever wrote this book is David Chang’s most fervent critic who has it in for him, except it is an autobiographical account. I use the word account purposefully because it is not really a true memoir or autobiography. Those who are expecting to hear the inspirational story of a son of immigrants picking himself up by his own bootstraps and making it to worldwide fame will be sorely disappointed. Chang and his collaborators aim for something much greater here and hit a near Bullseye. The intriguing histories of Dave Changs meteoric rises and falls are the perfect backdrop to tell important truths about not just Chefs or the restaurant industry but family and, ultimately life‘s purpose. Well worth a listen just set your expectations appropriately as if you are looking for a flowery recounting of achieving celebrity this is exactly the opposite.
Otherwise unreservedly recommended; trigger warnings for mental health issues.

very average memoir
sums up to "family is the most important."
He says a lot about the strength of diversity for someone that only hires people that are Hispanic or Asian. There are hints of understanding here and there, like him saying that lobsters became his team's mascot, but still he married within racial and ethnic bounds. I don't hold it against him, but it must be said as a counterpoint: diversity of THOUGHT is what's important. Perspective, viewpoint, problem solving skills, not skin color.
The first philosopher that comes to his mind is Descartes, which tells you a lot about his worldview. Deconstruct everything, offer no help putting it back together. He appears to be an advocate for advocacy's own sake, mentioning the me too movement at length for an appearance of solidarity. Well, it's good to have a difference of opinion in the world.
I don't know what I was expecting (I came upon this one as a related work to another mental health audiobook), but to me this story just said how awful working in a restaurant is. I haven't dined at one in months anyway. His advice on mental health issues is actually really good, the quality and depth of observation you only arrive at after years of abject suffering. If it could only be separated from everything else...

Much love and respect for David Chang
I'll be honest, I've been a huge fan of David Chang since I discovered him on the Mind of Chef. Little did I know the secrets about that show and so many other corners of David's off camera life. It is so wonderful to hear his story and struggles both on screen and in his personal life. This is a wonderful memoir filled with growth and insight. I walked away from this audiobook with a much greater respect and love of David Chang. Totally worth the admission price.

I appreciated his honesty and humanness throughout the protrail of his "heros journey," and the invitation to try if you're gonna work damn hard.

This one is Important. Forget what you think you know
David Chang helps all of us push our own boulder up our own mountains. I’ve taken the wisdom shared here in this book as bold and honest - he speaks with a humility and earned confidence that is deeply understandable, inspirational and important to hear. If you’ve ever gone into a movie, believing without a doubt, you know what to expect, only to be humbled and changed upon leaving, then you know it is worth the journey and investment of your time to either read or listen to this memoir. For me, there is something extra I got out of hearing David tell his story.
