I’m Not trying to be Difficult: Stories from the Restaurant Trenches.

Drew Nieporent is a legend in New York City’s food world–known as “one of the people who changed American restaurants” (Ruth Reichl). In his latest book, I’m Not Trying To Be Difficult: Stories from the Restaurant Trenches, Nieporent—the founder of Nobu, Montrachet and Tribeca Grill—tells the dramatic story of his own rise to power, from waiting tables to leading a culinary empire alongside partners like Robert DeNiro, Robin Williams and Francis Ford Coppola. This “startlingly honest” autobiography is not just a memoir, but the portrait of an evolving industry, as Nieporent “takes you behind the kitchen door to show you how the business really works” (Reichl).

Sponsored by Saunders agent Ed Gaetjens & Jen Robertson along with Saunders Real Estate.
