Paperback. Condition: New. "In this outstanding memoir, chef and restaurateur Matsuhisa.shares lessons in humility, gratitude, and empathy that will stick with readers long after they've finished the final chapter." -Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Inspiration by example" (Associated Press) from the acclaimed celebrity chef and international restaurateur, Nobu, as he divulges both his dramatic life story and reflects on the philosophy and passion that has made him one of the world's most widely respected Japanese fusion culinary artists.As one of the world's most widely acclaimed restaurateurs, Nobu's influence on food and hospitality can be found at the highest levels of haute-cuisine to the food trucks you frequent during the work week-this is the Nobu that the public knows. But now, we are finally introduced to the private Nobu: the man who failed three times before starting the restaurant that would grow into an empire; the man who credits the love and support of his family as the only thing keeping him from committing suicide when his first restaurant burned down; and the man who values the busboy who makes sure each glass is crystal clear as highly as the chef who slices the fish for Omakase perfectly. What makes Nobu special, and what made him famous, is the spirit of what exists on these pages. He has the traditional Japanese perspective that there is great pride to be found in every element of doing a job well-no matter how humble that job is. Furthermore, he shows us repeatedly that success is as much about perseverance in the face of adversity as it is about innate talent. Not just for serious foodies, this "insightful peek into the mind of one of the world's most successful restaurateurs" (Library Journal) is perfect for fans of Marie Kondo's The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and Danny Meyer's Setting the Table. Nobu's writing does what he does best-it marries the philosophies of East and West to create something entirely new and remarkable.

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.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. After starting two iconic music venues and surviving the dot-com bust, Michael Dorf offers gripping stories and hard-earned business lessons with a contrarian twist. As technology becomes more deeply woven into our lives, the key to success can be found in satisfying people's yearning for live human interaction. "Simply put, Michael Dorf is a true hustler. When the internet upended the music business, he wasn't romantic about the way things were done and like any great entrepreneur, focused on what's happening today. It has been fun for me to watch Michael operate in this ever-changing world. There is a lot that can be learned from this man."--Gary Vaynerchuk, Founder and CEO, VaynerMedia; and author, Crushing It As founder of the iconic Knitting Factory music venue in New York, Michael Dorf became one of the earliest pioneers of digital music in the 1990s and found himself addicted to the seductive promise of the Internet. But losing everything in the dot-com bust led to a renewed appreciation for the sensory pleasures of life and inspired him to gamble big with his latest crazy idea: Launching a wine-making facility in the middle of Manhattan for patrons who could also have dinner in a cozy three-hundred-seat venue while watching concerts by artists such as Elvis Costello, Steve Earle, Suzanne Vega, and Esperanza Spalding. After surviving another economic cataclysm--the Great Recession of 2008--Dorf found that his City Winery concept worked beautifully and he expanded it into a national network of clubs that continues to grow rapidly. Along the way, he realized why his venues are sold out nearly every night, from Boston to Nashville: Trapped in a digital bubble, increasingly separate from the real world, people are eager for the visceral, sensory experiences he offers. In Indulge Your Senses: Scaling Intimacy in a Digital World, Dorf tells riveting tales from his wild ride through three decades of business escapades and dispenses invaluable wisdom for readers--entrepreneurs, executives, students, professionals, lovers of music and wine--who are struggling to balance the virtual and the real in a world awash in technology. "Music, wine, food, and community--not only has Michael Dorf cracked the code on a recipe so many of us crave most in an increasingly disconnected world, he's also managed to grow a brilliantly successful business while listening to his gut and sticking to his values. It's a feat that all entrepreneurs would be wise to study closely." --Danny Meyer, CEO, Union Square Hospitality Group; Founder, Shake Shack; and author, Setting the Table: The Transforming Power of Hospitality in Business "The lessons learned in Michael Dorf's fascinating career make this as much a business book about how to thrive by indulging a customer's senses in our digital age as it is a gripping tale from an insider in the New York rock and jazz world during a period of massive technological change."--Steve Case, co-founder of the investment firm Revolution LLC and former CEO of AOL "Sonic Youth, Beck, John Zorn, Cecil Taylor--Michael Dorf showcased them all at his cutting-edge Knitting Factory. Neil Young, Aaron Neville, Macy Gray, Shawn Colvin--those artists and more have graced his upscale City Winery. It's hard to imagine anyone in New York who has presented more great live music over the past thirty years. This book is the colorful story of how Dorf pulled it off, both before and after the Internet upended the music industry and changed our lives forever. It's inspiring reading for anybody who cares about music, culture, and wine, and explains how to thrive by offering people a live experience they will always remember." --Rita Houston, WFUV Program Director Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

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.
