Just finished
Finding Freedom, a memoir by Erin French, owner of the insanely successful restaurant, the Lost Kitchen. I love memoirs, and if they involve good food, all the better. This was a great read, vulnerable and sharp and vividly written. Definitely worth your time.

"I give you Chicago. It is no London and Harvard. It is not Paris and buttermilk. It is American in every chitling and sparerib. It is alive from tail to snout." -- H.L. Mencken
