@sweethoneyandbrei Nothing says Thanksgiving to me like sitting on the couch, just having finished wrapping my last present about to read a book about food. 🤣 You know today can’t be just about eating all the food I have to make it about reading about food too. Benson in the other hand just cares about a comfy place to sleep. It’s also Saintsgiving. So Who Dat! Hope everyone is able to spend a little time with the people they love today. Thankful for all of you!

Description
About the Book
In this "New York Times" bestseller, beloved food writer Reichl, an unlikely master of disguise, presents her adventures in restaurant reviewing for "The New York Times."Book Synopsis
Author of Save Me the Plums Ruth Reichl's iconic, bestselling memoir of her time as an undercover restaurant critic for The New York Times "Expansive and funny." --Entertainment Weekly Ruth Reichl, world-renowned food critic and former editor in chief of Gourmet magazine, knows a thing or two about food. She also knows that as the most important food critic in the country, you need to be anonymous when reviewing some of the most high-profile establishments in the biggest restaurant town in the world--a charge she took very seriously, taking on the guise of a series of eccentric personalities. In Garlic and Sapphires, Reichl reveals the comic absurdity, artifice, and excellence to be found in the sumptuously appointed stages of the epicurean world and gives us--along with some of her favorite recipes and reviews--her remarkable reflections on how one's outer appearance can influence one's inner character, expectations, and appetites, not to mention the quality of service one receives. "[A] wonderful book, which is funny--at times laugh-out-loud funny--and smart and wise." --Jonathan Yardley, The Washington PostReview Quotes
"This wonderful book is funny--at times laugh-out-loud funny--and smart and wise." --The Washington Post "Reichl is so gifted . . . the reader remains hungry for more." --USA Today "Expansive and funny." --Entertainment Weekly
