Who hasn't worked at a restaurant and thought "They should write a book about this place"? This is the engaging story of the "other" side of the canopied entrance of a de luxe restaurant. Here are the starched fronts and warm hearts of the staff, the eccentricities and foibles of the clientele, the epicurean loves and lives of la belle France in New York. The strange hierarchy of black ties and white ties, tuxedos and tails is handled with true Gallic wit. Chefs and gourmets, dead beats and bus boys, maitres d'hotel and waiters are tossed together expertly at la Raymond Andrieux and spiced with the drawings of Garth Williams - a dish that will be relished by everyone.
