Part memoir, part social commentary, part guide to how to behave when dining out, Debra Ginsberg's book takes readers on her twenty-year long journey as a waitress at a soap-operatic Italian restaurant, and exclusive five-star dining club, the dingiest of diners, and more. While chronicling her evolution as a writer, Ginsberg takes a behind-the-scenes look at restaurant life - revealing that yes, when pushed a server will spit in food, and, no, that's not really decaf you're getting - and how most people in this business are in constant state of waiting to do something else.
