Our take
AI-draftedBoehm's memoir works best when it abandons the expected restaurant-world war stories for the harder material underneath: a fractured relationship with two fathers and a mental health collapse that the book traces back to using ambition as a substitute for therapy. What distinguishes it from the standard hospitality-industry tell-all is that Boehm was never the celebrity chef; he was the guy managing the room and the money.
