Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This lively, yet sometimes frightening, book is a work of inspiration. Mr. Suna illuminates the less than sexy world behind those restaurant swinging doors with such candor that it makes one think twice before heading out for a lovely meal at the local eatery. Funny, horrifying, sad, and exciting, who could imagine this level of emotional rollercoaster in a book about the restaurant business. Anthony Bourdain, you're down for the count! Kenneth Suna is the new reining champion of the behind-the scenes, restaurant tell-alls!! Maybe I'll pop in a frozen dinner tonight.

Kenneth Suna hoped to become a professional wrestler, but an eight-foot drop onto a cement floor quickly ended his fifteen-year dream. He found work at the Texas Café, a Washington, D.C., neighborhood restaurant and later at White Spice, a high-end seafood restaurant. In this memoir, Suna provides a unique glimpse into the restaurant industry from the perspective of a young man at the beginning of his career.
In It's a Miracle They Ain't Dead Yet, Suna delivers humorous true stories and descriptions from the kitchen. From maniac managers to quirky customers and eclectic co-workers, he reveals all, including stories about the knife-wielding dishwasher, dead rats in the kitchen, cooks using cocaine, and situations similar to "Waiter, there's a roach in my food!"
Suna is not a chef, nor does he own a restaurant. He was an employee at the bottom rung, and he saw it all-good and bad management, the treatment of immigrants, endearing stories, and shocking kitchen scenes. Eating out will never be the same.
