I think I would have liked it if I'd read it in the early 2000s when it was first published. As a forty-something person, I would have enjoyed this book's rough, vulgar, stream-of-consciousness. But reading it in 2023 was a different experience. I found the repeated descriptions of substance abuse, criminal activity, and swearing tiring and boring.
The book's best parts were the detailed descriptions of what it takes to manage and run a restaurant and the incredible skill and timing of the people working on the line.
