Chef’s Night Out — Andrew Dorenberg & Karen Page

After reading BECOMING A CHEF, DINING OUT, and the amazing CULINARY ARTISTRY, perhaps my expectations were a little high for this book. However, CHEF’S NIGHT OUT seemed thin on material, and designed for someone who is not me: a person that travels a LOT, and has tons of money. The book will live in my collection as a reference for when I travel, but I put it down after only reading a little bit of it since it doesn’t apply to me. Also, my city had ZERO restaurants listed. ZERO. I applaud Dorenberg & Page for their research, but this book tries to hit too broad a target, and misses.
