Über diesen Titel

 New York Times Bestseller

Winner of the 2026 Gotham Book Prize

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 in the fifties to his serendipitous arrival in New York, where he founded the era-defining establishments the Odeon, Cafe Luxembourg, and Nell’s. Eloquent and opinionated, Keith McNally writes about the angst of being a child actor, his lack of insights from traveling overland to Kathmandu at nineteen, the instability of his two marriages and family relationships, his devastating stroke, and his Instagram notoriety.

Kritikerstimmen

"Richard E. Grant showcases the compelling life of legendary restaurateur Keith McNally, who does not shy away from the complicated stories that make up his life and choices. Having started out in the film industry, McNally discovered true theater in building successful restaurants, including New York's Balthazar, where the right environment and staff made the perfect dining experience. Then, a debilitating stroke made speaking almost impossible. Happily, Grant brings a commanding narration to the proceedings. His timing, along with his eloquently dry delivery, is masterful. Grant's narrative skill is on full display as McNally shares his professional failures and personal struggles, including a suicide attempt and fractured relationships with his family. Throughout, Grant's performance is spellbinding"

I have only been to very few of Mr McNally’s restaurants: Pravda, Nell’s, Lucky Strike. I observed his meteoric rise as a Manhattan restaurant owner through New York papers and glitzy magazines. Following his instagram account he came across as provocative and bitter. His memoir struck me by its honesty. Mr McNally had an incredible life and lived through many ups and downs. And I have immense respect for him being quite self-critical in all regards. Richard E Grant’s reading of the audiobook was phenomenal. This book will stay with me for quite some time- it’s riveting, entertaining and deeply touching. Highly recommended!

Much better than I expected
