About book Restaurant Man. Vita, Vino E Cibo Di Un Giudice Di Masterchef (2012)

I was conflicted through this entire memoir. The insight into running a restaurant, especially for a restaurant freak like me, was totally fascinating. The wine and Italian cooking intelligence was also interesting. I get the fact that he's a tough Restaurant Man, and that kind of no-nonsense approach to the hospitality and high-end food business is probably what's made Bastianich most successful. But the balls-out, tell-it-like-it-is approach gets quickly tedious, especially when it's illustrated by so much foul language, sometimes seemingly for effect. And I'm not even an effin' prude. It's like food porn written by David Mamet. So after a while, Bastianich is no longer interesting...he just seems ridiculous. Still, I finished the story (almost wearing down during the Eataly advertorial that was oddly tagged onto the end of what had been a pretty personal tale). And I still want to eat at Del Posto. Remarkable culinary narrative of the Bastianich dynasty, and the well known restaurants that Joe Bastianich established. I've read the back of the house, the front of the house, but Restaurant Man is unabashedly about managing the house - planning, financing, designing, controlling.Forward by Mario Batali and Bastianich's narratives about Batali showcase how closely and well they work together. Really good read and a new perspective on the Bastianich family.

This biography is a self absorbed reflection of Joe's life. It was mildly entertaining.
