Produktbeschreibung
A witty and lively memoir from food writer and New York Times contributor Besha Rodell, (formerly) one of the world's last anonymous restaurant critics When Besha Rodell moved from Australia to the United States with her mother at fourteen, she was a foreigner in a new land, missing her friends, her father, and the food she grew up eating. In the years that followed, Rodell began waitressing and discovered the buzz of the restaurant world, immersing herself in the lifestyle and community while struggling with the industry's shortcomings. As she built a family, Rodell realized her dream, though only a handful of women before her had done it: to make a career as a restaurant critic. From the streets of Brooklyn to lush Atlanta to sunny Los Angeles to traveling and eating around the world, and, finally, home to Australia, Rodell takes us on a delicious, raw, and fascinating journey through her life and career and explores the history of criticism and dining and the cultural shifts that have turned us all into food obsessives. Hunger Like a Thirst shares stories of the joys and hardships of Rodell's coming-of-age, the amazing (and sometimes terrible) meals she ate along the way, and the dear friends she made in each restaurant, workplace, and home.

Besha Rodell
Rezensionen
"Beautifully written, deeply moving, and a fascinating social document."
-Nigella Lawson

"This hearty, heartfelt missive will appeal to anyone who likes to wax poetic about a memorable meal."
-Publishers Weekly

"A meld of autobiography and culinary memoir with meat on its bones... It is Rodell's candor, her gift for asking so many savory, enlightening questions, that rewards the reader's palate. Structured like a good meal, or a good review, rendering a superb memoir."
-Kirkus

"Rodell delves into the glory years of making her bones as a female food writer in the male-dominated, early aughts restaurant industry... Her writing is fresh, biting and accessible. And her food descriptions are mouthwatering and luscious."
-The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
