What makes a restaurant hot? Whose name do you need to drop to get
a table? Why is one place booked solid for the next nine months
while somewhere equally delicious is as empty and inhospitable as
the Gobi desert? Welcome to the restaurant business, where the
hours are punishing, the conditions are brutal and the Chef's
Special has been languishing at the back of the fridge for the past
three days. This is an industry plagued with obsessives. Why else
do some chefs drive themselves crazy in pursuit of elusive Michelin
stars, when in reality all they're doing is 'making someone else's
tea'? Nothing is left to chance: the lighting, the temperature or
even the cut of the salmon fillet. There's even a spot of
psychology behind the menu. What do they want you to order? What
makes them the most money? And why should you really hold back on
those side dishes? In Restaurant Babylon, Imogen Edwards-Jones and
her anonymous industry insider lift the lid on all the tricks of
the food trade and what really makes this GBP90 billion a year
industry tick. So please do sit down, pour yourself some heavily
marked-up wine and make yourself comfortable (although we'll need
that table back by 8.30 sharp).
