“If you like Anthony Bourdain or Gordon Ramsay then you will LOVE Brian Lewis.
“In The Weeds” is more than just a compelling chronicle of a chef’s journey from apprentice to executive, it’s a deeply moving story of recovery, redemption and the triumph of the creative spirit.” – Michael J. Gelb, author of ” How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci”

Brian Lewis was a remarkable young man when I hired him to work for me, twice, in the 1980s. He grew into a wise and inspiring adult. Read about his journey, his passion, his courage and his moral discipline in this candid story of his life. We are all “in the weeds” at some time in our life, and this book, which is so much more than the story of a chef, shows us how to get out of the weeds, with dignity and humility. –Carl Jerome, former boss and longtime admirer.
