Summary:
"A funny, fierce, and poignant memoir by chef, restaurateur, and Top Chef judge Barbara Lynch, recounting her rise from a hard-knocks South Boston childhood to culinary stardom. Chef Barbara Lynch credits the defiant spirit of her upbringing in tough, poor "Southie," a neighborhood ruled by the notorious Whitey Bulger gang, with helping her bluff her way into her first professional cooking jobs; develop a distinct culinary style through instinct and sheer moxie; then daring to found an empire of restaurants ranging from a casual but elegant "clam shack" to Boston's epitome of modern haute cuisine. One of seven children born to an overworked single mother, Lynch was raised in a housing project. She earned a daredevil reputation for boosting vehicles (even a city bus), petty theft, drinking and doing drugs, and narrowly escaping arrest, haunted all the while by a painful buried trauma. She dexribes her process of self-invention, including encounters with colorful characters of the food world, and vividly evokes the magic of creation in the kitchen. A love letter to South Boston and its vanishing culture, governed by Irish Catholic mothers and its own code of honor. Lynch explores how the past, both what we strive to escape from and what we remain true to, can strengthen and expand who we are.
