Garlic and sapphires : the secret life of a critic in disguise - Ruth Reichl

Loved it! You know I love cooking shows and books about food. This is great because she does interesting reviews and also tells you about how she came up with her clever disguises. A lot of this book is about service and how bad service is when you, as a customer, don't demand proper service. She points out that you don't have to be a horrifying creep to get what you want and that you should always ask for what you want in a restaurant. Do not let the waiter bully you into anything and do not allow yourself to be ignored.
