DESCRIPTION:
An Amazing Story of Success and Determination By the age of 32 Grant Achatz, chef/owner of Alinea, had achieved his dream of having the best restaurant in American and, along the way, had completely redefined not only the dining experience but how we think about food and eating. In this book, Chef Achatz, along with Nick Kokonas (his business partner in Alinea and a first-time restaurateur), describes the path he took to reach his goal. If the story ended there, it would be an amazing story of hard work and sacrifice coupled with sheer genius and the audacity to succeed at all costs. The story takes a totally different turn when Chef Achatz is diagnosed. The Chef's Story Don Lupo I've read many books on food, cooks and Michlein Chefs. Without doubt I've not enjoyed one more than Life, on the Line. All the roads to success, all the roads to change and life, all the roads to the top of the cooking world are exposed in this book. The toughness, the love, the humor and the drive for achievement are here. Achatz's story makes the book hard to put down.. "I really liked the book" according to M. James. I really liked the book. The first part was a much faster read for me than the last though.
