Steve Lerach: Fried: Surviving Two Centuries in Restaurants November 13, 2008

Local author and professional chef, Steve Lerach, will discuss his new book 'Fried: Surviving Two Centuries in Restaurants.' Lerach examines restaurants and the chefs, line cooks and dishwashers who have slaved away, largely unseen, by the dining public. From the first restaurants dating to the reign of France's King Louis XVI to the Delmonico Brothers in New York, Lerach humorously and poignantly interweaves restaurant legend and lore with his own experiences.
