Hardcover. Condition: new. Lenovitz, Ben (illustrator). Hardcover. I really enjoyed this book. In fact, I could go for a second helping! Amy Sedaris Entrepreneurs will learn a thing or two about translating a dream into thoughtful business growth, and everyone will laugh, cry, and nod along with a woman who has chosen to live an extraordinary life amidst many piles of dishes. Danny Meyer, CEO of Union Square Hospitality Group, founder of Shake Shack, author of the New York Times bestseller Setting the Table In this charming graphic memoir, the founder of an iconic housewares shop recounts the ups and downs and ups again of starting a family business, starting a family, and staying true to one s path while trying to make it in the Big City. Whether it s a set of vintage plates from a 1920s steamship, a mug with a New Yorker cartoon on it, a tin of sprinkles designed by Amy Sedaris, or a juice glass from a Jazz Age hotel, Fishs Eddy products are distinctly recognizable. A New York institution, Fishs Eddy also remains a family business whose owners endured the same challenges as many family businesses and lived to write about it in this tale filled with humorous characterizations of opinionated relatives, nosy neighbors, quirky employees, and above all the eccentric foibles of the founders themselves. Readers come to know author Julie Gaines and her husband, with whom she founded the store, and because this is a family business, the illustrations are all in the family, too: their son Ben Lenovitz s drawings bring Fishs Eddy to life with a witty style a la Roz Chast and Ben Katchor. Over the years the store has collaborated with artists and celebrities such as Charley Harper and Todd Oldham, Alan Cumming, and many others to produce original designs that are now found in thousands of stores throughout the country, and Fishs Eddy has garnered a huge amount of media coverage. A great gift for anyone who has ever dreamed of opening a little business or anyone with any kind of dream Minding the Store offers wisdom, inspiration, and an exceedingly entertaining story. In this charming graphic memoir, the founder of the iconic housewares shop Fishs Eddy recounts the ups and downs - and ups again - of starting a family business, starting a family, and staying true to ones path while trying to make it in the Big City.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'A hilarious and moving story of unconventional entrepreneurialism, passion, and guts.' --Danny Meyer, CEO of Union Square Hospitality Group; Founder of Shake Shack; Author of Setting the TableOriginal recipes by J. Kenji López-Alt of The Food Lab and Stella Parks of BraveTartJames Beard Award-winning founder of Serious Eats Ed Levine finally tells the mouthwatering and heartstopping story of building--and almost losing--one of the most acclaimed and beloved food sites in the world.In 2005, Ed Levine was a freelance food writer with an unlikely dream: to control his own fate and create a different kind of food publication. He wanted to unearth the world's best bagels, the best burgers, the best hot dogs--the best of everything edible. To build something for people like him who took everything edible seriously, from the tasting menu at Per Se and omakase feasts at Nobu down to mass-market candy, fast food burgers, and instant ramen.Against all sane advice, he created a blog for $100 and called it.Serious Eats. The site quickly became a home for obsessives who didn't take themselves too seriously. Intrepid staffers feasted on every dumpling in Chinatown and sampled every item on In-N-Out's secret menu. Talented recipe developers like The Food Lab's J. Kenji López-Alt and Stella Parks, aka BraveTart, attracted cult followings. Even as Serious Eats became better-known--even beloved and respected--every day felt like it could be its last. Ed secured handshake deals from investors and would-be acquirers over lunch only to have them renege after dessert. He put his marriage, career, and relationships with friends and family at risk through his stubborn refusal to let his dream die. He prayed that the ride would never end. But if it did, that he would make it out alive.This is the moving story of making a glorious, weird, and wonderful dream come true. It's the story of one food obsessive who followed a passion to terrifying, thrilling, and mouthwatering places--and all the serious eats along the way.Praise for Serious Eater'Read[s] more like a carefully crafted novel than a real person's life.' --from the foreword by J. Kenji López-Alt'Wild, wacky, and entertaining.The book makes you hungry for Ed to succeed.and for lunch.' --Christina Tosi, founder of Milk Bar'Serious Eater is seriously good!.you'll be so glad [Ed] invited you to a seat at his table.' --Ree Drummond, author of The Pioneer Woman Cooks'After decades of spreading the good food gospel we get a glimpse of the missionary behind the mission.' --Dan Barber, chef, Blue Hill and Blue Hill at Stone Barns.
