James Beard Award-winning journalists expose food industry secrets in "the Kitchen Confidential of the big-ticket catering world" ( New York Times). Hotbox reveals the real-life drama behind cavernous event spaces and soaring white tents, where cooking conditions have more in common with a mobile army hospital than a restaurant. Award-winning food writers the Lee brothers steeped themselves in the catering business for four years, learning the culture from the inside out. It's a realm where you find eccentric characters, working in extreme conditions, who must produce magical events and instantly adapt when, for instance, the host's toast runs a half-hour too long, a hail storm erupts, or a rolling rack of hundreds of ice cream desserts goes wheels-up. Whether they're dashing through black-tie fundraisers or celebrity-spotting at a Hamptons cookout, the Lee brothers guide you on a romp from the inner circle-the elite team of chefs using little more than their wits and Sterno to turn out lamb shanks for eight hundred-to the outer reaches of the industries that facilitate the most dazzling galas. You'll never attend a party-or entertain on your own-in the same way after reading this book. "Lively... [with] just the right combination of sophistication and self-deprecation [to] show us what really goes on behind the scenes." - The Wall Street Journal "An absorbing, immersive, appetizing tale, written with sharp intelligence and style." -Susan Orlean, New York Times-bestselling author of The Library Book "Brilliant, gleeful... full of tips and secrets." -Bill Buford, national bestselling author of Heat "[A] captivating tell-all." - Publishers Weekly
