When Ada Calhoun found herself in the throes of a midlife crisis, she thought that she had no right to complain. She was married with children and a good career. So why did she feel miserable? And why did it seem that other Generation X women were miserable, too? Calhoun decided to find some answers. She looked into housing costs, HR trends, credit card debt averages, and divorce data. At every turn, she saw a pattern: sandwiched between the Boomers and Millennials, Gen X women were facing new problems as they entered middle age, problems that were being largely overlooked.

When Condé Nast offered Ruth Reichl the top position at America’s oldest epicurean magazine, she declined. She was a writer, not a manager, and had no inclination to be anyone’s boss. Yet Reichl had been reading Gourmet since she was eight; it had inspired her career. How could she say no? This is the story of a former Berkeley hippie entering the corporate world and worrying about losing her soul. It is the story of the moment restaurants became an important part of popular culture, a time when the rise of the farm-to-table movement changed, forever, the way we eat.

In 2014, Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the female Steve Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose start-up “unicorn” promised to revolutionize the medical industry with a machine that would make blood testing significantly faster and easier. Backed by investors such as Larry Ellison and Tim Draper, Theranos sold shares in a fund-raising round that valued the company at more than $9 billion, putting Holmes’ worth at an estimated $4.7 billion. There was just one problem: The technology didn’t work.

Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family."

Description
A singular, powerfully expressive debut memoir that traces one chef's struggle to find her place and what happens once she does.
Burn the Place is a galvanizing culinary memoir that chronicles Iliana Regan's journey from foraging on the family farm to opening her Michelin-starred restaurant, Elizabeth. Her story is alive with startling imagery, raw like that first bite of wild onion, and told with uncommon emotional power. It's a sure bet to be one of the most important new memoirs of 2019.
Regan grew up the youngest of four headstrong girls on a small farm in Northwest Indiana. Even when she was picking raspberries as a toddler still in diapers, Regan understood to pick only the ripe fruit and leave the rest for another day. In the family's leaf-strewn fields, the orange flutes of chanterelles seemed to beckon her, while they eluded others.
Regan has always had an intense, almost otherworldly connection with food and earth. Connecting with people, however, has always been harder. As she learned to cook in the farmhouse, got her first job in a professional kitchen at age 15, taught herself cutting-edge cuisine while running her "new forager" underground supper club, and worked her way from front-of-house staff to running her own kitchen, Regan often felt that she "wasn't made for this world." She was a little girl who longed to be a boy, gay in an intolerant community, an alcoholic before she turned 20, a woman in an industry dominated by men.
Burn the Place will introduce listeners to an important new voice from the American culinary scene, an underrepresented perspective from the professional kitchen, and a young star chef whose prose is as memorable and deserving of praise as her food.

An Entropic Bloom...
Many friends used to ask me why I was so keen on eating at the best, seemingly eccentric, and most innovative restaurants wherever I travel and go.
It’s simple... these are my people. The miscreants, misanthropes, agitators, punks, dejected, and pests that breath vivaciousness, squeeze out imagination, and will entropic blooms of ideation into the dull causeways of everyday culture.
Iliana is that being. An Algrenian writer who learned how to hone and showcase her creative notions in the chaos of uncertainty, the hot tempered back-and-front rooms of hospitality, and in the face of adversity, self-procured, unsuspected, and self-effacing.
This is a memoir that makes me excited to be alive and having failed, awaiting my own success, knowing the long road to achievement is just another road... and that that is achieved is that that is perceived.
Her stories and memories are crisp, creeping, and quietly crowing, illuminating and bringing forth the humanity of a budding and soon-to-be star culinary creative.
I’m even more excited to eat her dishes now, as I am embarrassed to have run in orbiting social groups of hers with my peers constantly chirping to try out her Eats.
If you need a book to reconnect you with your own path and Earthbound anchorage... this is it.
Thank you Iliana.
Keep Cooking.
Stay Creative.

Great book and unique look into a passionate mind
I work in the food industry and enjoy getting a glimpse into the mind of a successful chef who devotes her life and passion into her career, exposing her insides , struggles with identity, and vulnerability for all to see. The stories are raw and real, unfiltered and entertaining, and relatable if you have worked in the business. A great writer. The narrator does a pretty good job also. (a few food terms are mispronounced though ) highly recommend

Lost interest
After she pulls out of alcoholism got a bit boring. I finally quit about hour an half before finishing. I found the cooking descriptions tedious. Just couldn’t keep interested.
