## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What if a Book Were Organized Like a Tasting Menu?
*by F***S on May 5, 2018*

It's difficult to describe In the Restaurant, but it is a breeze to read. I loved it! It's as if author Christoph Ribbat took notes on every book he's read about the restaurant experience, and distilled them into one short, pithy book. He looks at restaurants from a historical point of view, from a labor aspect, in terms of social experience, zeroing in on owner, chef, wait staff, and diner at different times. He discusses the experiences and writings of George Orwell, Jacques Pepin, Barbara Ehrenreich, and Marilyn Hagerty (writer of Grand Forks, North Dakota restaurant reviews). He considers the automat, Craig Claiborne's $4,000 dinner, the McDonald's system of standardization, and Alice Waters' early failures and successes. The narrative moves back and forth, as different threads intertwine with each other -- sort of the way story lines take turns in a TV drama or sitcom. This gives it a choppy texture, but actually works well to keep things moving. Try it!

### ⭐⭐ Purchased as a gift - not what was expected
*by A***E on July 16, 2019*

Very short smippets of fairly current experiences from gourmet chefs, waiters and maitre'ds. Not as in-depth a presentation as wished and not spread over time as wished. An easy read, but a disappointment.

### ⭐ Save your money.
*by T***S on January 23, 2020*

Very...silly. Avoid.
