Book Review of Service Included: Four-Star Secrets of an Eavesdropping Waiter

Service Included: Four-Star Secrets of an Eavesdropping Waiter
Helpful Score: 1


If you are looking for what all she overhears while waiting tables, this ain't it. This book was very dry, very dull, and very boring. If you are just a simple cook who likes gooseberry cookbooks, then you won't want to read this book because I couldn't understand half the stuff she was talking about doing to food. If you can't say fried chicken but instead say some fancy smancy word for it, then yeah I'm lost. What I read of the book was mostly about her complaining about how she had to decide between school or waiting tables and how no one understood why she wanted to wait tables. Also she kept talking about this chef and his cookbook and how she loved to look at the cookbook. Nothing about being a waiter for a good part of the book. So I say 86 this book, try something else.
