All coffee is de-caf
i don't understand what the point of this book is. she is completely boring. so far, she has added nothing to my knowledge of food or restaurants in new york city. she wrote a book about being a waiter.
who cares?
i hate the front of the house.
I will never look at a server the same way again. I loved this book - it made me hungry! Ms. Damrosch is clearly a class act; it would have too EASY to write a greasy gossip-fest. Brava!
