What is it really like to be a waiter in Paris? Edward Chisholm's engrossing memoir of his time as a Parisian waiter takes you beneath the surface of one of the most iconic cities in the world—and tells you the ugly truth about dining in the City of Light.

A waiter's job is to deceive you. They want you to believe in a luxurious calm because on the other side of that door . . . is hell.
