Review of 'Service included' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Eh, this kinda fizzled at the end. And it is mistitled - this is just another memoir of a foodie. Not a ton of actual secrets or eavesdropping. Given the title, I would have preferred a book full of anecdotes about being a waiter and the crazy things that go on than a memoir of how she got to be a waiter there.
