Dining & Whining Commiseration And Celebration For Gastro-Snobs

Do you cringe when your waiter asks, "Still workin' on that?" Drop your jaw when a server refers to women as "you guys?" Glaze over when the waitress recites each special dish ad nauseam? If these and other culinary faux pas offend you, Terry Ruscin - author of Taste for Travel - serves up hilarious commiseration in this handbook for fellow gastro-snobs as he dines, wines, and whines his way through gustatory adventures and misadventures in his quest for feasible alternatives to the dumbing of America and numbing of the American palate. In the end, Ruscin consults the Brent Michael Kaufman, the "Table Doctor," and provides a critique form. So, turn up your noses, brace your palate and travel along as the author mostly disses, but occasionally deifies, dining in America. Between courses, Ruscin balances his banquet of grievances with sublime characterizations of delectable cuisine. In the end, you will learn how much to tip-and when not to-if the event of dining out leaves you whining. Moreover, you will get,a diagnosis from the Table Doctor. Bon appitit, you guys!Ruscin, Terry is the author of 'Dining & Whining Commiseration And Celebration For Gastro-Snobs', published 2005 under ISBN 9781413753264 and ISBN 1413753264.
