This week on Eat Your Words, host Cathy Erway is joined by Karen Stabiner, a journalist and author of narrative non-fiction. She is the author of Generation Chef, the story of Jonah Miller, who at age twenty-four attempts to fulfill a lifelong dream by opening the Basque restaurant Huertas in New York City. The book takes us inside Huertas’s roller-coaster first year, but also provides insight into the challenging world a young chef faces today—the intense financial pressures, the overcrowded field of aspiring cooks, and the impact of reviews and social media, which can dictate who survives.
