Fascinating insider look at the restaurant business and the rise of the celebrity chef phenomonen. It also doesn't hurt that Ruhlman has a knack for describing meals so well that you can almost smell and taste them yourself.

Try reading this book at the same time as Anthony Bourdain's Nasty Bits. Ruhlman and Bourdain do some traveling together and it is interesting to read their different takes on the same meals.
