I Regret Almost Everything
I Regret Almost Everything | Keith Mcnally
2 posts | 1 read
The entertaining, irreverent, and surprisingly moving memoir by the visionary restaurateur behind such iconic New York institutions as Balthazar and Pastis. A memoir by the legendary proprietor of Balthazar, Pastis, Minetta Tavern, and Morandi, taking us from his gritty London childhood to his serendipitous arrival in New York, where he founded the era-defining establishments Odeon, Cafe Luxembourg, and Nells. Eloquent and opinionated, Keith McNally writes about his stint as a child actor, his travels along the hippie trail, his wives and children, his devastating stroke, and his Instagram notoriety.

Often I‘m completely intrigued when someone of fame in which I‘m a fan (or not) publishes their memoir. And then there are times I pick up a memoir of a well-known person completely unknown to me. This was the later and I was fascinated on Keith‘s take of NYC, Martha‘s Vineyard, and London. He was introspective of his life choices good and bad. Now excuse me while I google all his restaurants!

TheBookHippie I have this to read! Hopefully next week. Although foodie that I am - I do know of him! I can‘t wait. 1w
marleed @TheBookHippie I can‘t wait to read your thoughts having known who he is and of his restaurants. In the past 2 days and for reasons unrelated to my reading I‘ve seen reference to Balthazar. It makes me wonder how many hundreds of time the reference simply flew right past my cheek 🤣 1w
TheBookHippie @marleed 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I have that with things after I read all the time! 1w
