How did he beat the odds in one of the toughest trades around? In this landmark book, Danny shares the lessons he learned developing the dynamic philosophy he calls Enlightened Hospitality. The tenets of that philosophy, which emphasize strong in-house relationships as well as customer satisfaction, are applicable to anyone who works in any business. Whether you are a manager, an executive, or a waiter, Danny’s story and philosophy will help you become more effective and productive, while deepening your understanding and appreciation of a job well done.

The book spent time telling about Danny's travels and ignited his passion. For a foodie who knows different dishes there would be nodding heads. For me it was for business advice in being in the food business. There is a thin line
in education and self promotion. The book came close. Still there are bookmarks to be made here to share with those who have passion for food.

A tasty book if one like appetizers.
