Generation Chef : Risking It All for a New American Dream

The heart of Generation Chef is the story of Jonah Miller, who at age twenty-four attempts to fulfil a lifelong dream by opening the Basque restaurant Huertas in New York City. Journalist and food writer Karen Stabiner takes us inside Huertas's roller-coaster first year, but also provides insight into the challenging world a young chef faces today - the intense financial pressures, the overcrowded field of aspiring cooks, and the impact of reviews and social media, which can dictate who survives.
