You need to read this tell-all book if you ever plan to step foot in a restaurant again, much less work in one.
Chef Brock tells you everything you want to know about the restaurant business and a whole lot more that is sure to surprise you, but beneath this colorful wit you will find a man who loves the life he has chosen and can relate all the reasons why, even as he warns others of the pitfalls.
He pulls no punches in this realistic, often funny, romp through the restaurant world. He knows what it takes to be successful (and profitable!) in the business, and reveals it all in a unique earthy style that will appeal to just about anyone who has eaten or worked in a restaurant.
Brock Lee is the consummate General Mangler and has done what most of us at one time or another in the business have yearned to do. He's telling you that before you go rushing into the restaurant business either to own or work please reconsider! "The General Mangler" is an entertaining authoritative account of the personalities and obstacles that you will encounter should you not heed his advice. You have been warned.
Brock Lee is the nom de plume (created to protect the innocent and guilty alike)of a famous chef in the southeast United States. With almost two decades of experience as Chef, Executive Chef and General Manager at upscale restaurants, he currently presides over a beautiful and successful restaurant.
