But it's good to seeing they're starting to shut down: https://www.eater.com/2019/3/4/18241461/metoo-movement-impact-restaurant-business-mario-batali
It's not just the "Me Too" movement, it's the whole industry - "Hospitality" provides some of the most inhospitable working conditions on earth. What is frightening is how media chooses to glamorize the likes of Gordon Ramsay and create the stereotype of the forgivable culinary genius who can do and say as he pleases because his food tastes so darned good...

Lurid! Descriptive! And a damned sight better written than "50 Shades of Gray". But - sadly, the scenes are at best - well, lightly described and our poor protagonist could use some instruction in certain matters...
That said, this is the perfect book to whip out at your local cafe or while you're on the Bus to work. The cover just keeps on giving...

I actually know a lot of theatre people and I gotta say it's probably not at all fictional. In fact, I'll bet it doesn't even begin to cover some of the weird sh*t they get up to...I've read a couple of these, they're better written than "50 Shades...", but a lot less explicit, you're more or less just assured that everyone just grunted and had a good time.

By which I don't mean good, just not the worst, I scan through, remember old ideas - briefly, we're breaking the logjam, there are fewer days ahead than behind, rip-it-up, rip-it-up,...
Overwhelming, because it's all my shit, if it was somebody elses, anybody elses, I could breeze through here in a day, for everyone it's the same, dealing with their own shit takes forever, dealing with somebody elses is easy.
I find some old notebooks of "wants and needs", diaries of my material ambitions, and surprising how many I realized, given my hunger, a lot of the shit I wanted 20, 25 years ago I now have, and laughable given that I'm in the process of getting rid of it all...
