Publisher's summary

The most compelling, insightful, and white-knuckled journey behind the restaurant curtain since Anthony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential.

Mark H. Brezinski is a forty-five-year veteran of the dynamic restaurant industry. A graduate of the famed School of Hotel Administration at Cornell University, Mark went on to create or co-create multiple nationally acclaimed restaurant companies. His experiences span the globe in search of culinary discoveries and inspirations with industry icons like the late Norman Brinker, Paul Fleming, Phil Romano, and chefs Michael Mina and Mark Miller. Mark’s restaurants have featured an international buffet of foods that include Indian, Italian, French, and Vietnamese. His travels have taken him from Tokyo to Tuscany, from San Francisco to Shanghai, from Mumbai to Maui. This book takes you to all of these places and more, while telling behind-the-scenes stories—sometimes funny, often heartbreaking, and never without lessons learned. The journey is a remarkable tag-along to the highs and lows of being an entrepreneur and the self-discovery that comes with each stop. Mark resides in Dallas and, never one to leave a stone unturned, is currently founder of his latest concept, Bizzy, which features his vision of better fast food.

Interesting story

Brezinski has crossed paths with many popular fast casual eating establishments. His story is interesting in telling behind the scene work necessary to open the doors.

Loved it!

What a cool behind the scenes look about the inception of so many beloved concepts. It’s amazing to hear about how these creations came to life. I was definitely cheering Mark on throughout the book as he talked about some high highs and low lows— some that even had me tearing up.

Couldn’t stop listening!

I arrived at my destination but sat in the car for another hour because I couldn’t stop listening. Brezinski’s fascinating life story weaves through each chapter while giving the listener rare insight “behind the restaurant curtain”. Read by the author with a heart full of honesty, pain, successes and failures. Relatable, relevant and engaging. Buying the hardcover next.
