Hectic Hotel

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Do you know anyone who works in a hotel or restaurant? If so, this collection of short stories will have them rolling on the floor with laughter! Five authors from the food industry gather at the table to reveal some hilarious happenings at the Hectic Hotel. Dr. Chef Dave and his friends tell you the insider information rarely discussed outside of the walk-in cooler.

SYNOPSIS

Hectic Hotel is a fictional account of the hotel and restaurant business, set in Chicago. Principally aimed at workers in the hospitality industry, it will also appeal to college-age students and frequent travelers. The novel teaches secret culinary knowledge in a humorous setting that shows what is really simmering with America's chaotic chefs, wound-up waiters, and stressed-out staff. In a behind the scenes look, Northern food is burned, Southern barbeque is not turned, Eastern seafood is bloated, while Western vegetables are roasted, and surprisingly Canadian food is smeared, whereas Mexican food is revered! And that is only if one can get the hotel bed sheets changed. Beverages are addressed as well, recommending Old Corkblower sparkling beverage while studying the unbelievable dishes that the Brittish eat. Spotted Dick, really?
