While I am always intrigued in learning about a person, learning how they tick, Hamilton did a poor job getting me to care at all about her story. I have no doubt that Hamilton is a great chef. She brings us through her life and references food throughout, from childhood to adolescence to adulthood – showing us how she became the chef she is today. This book was rated 3.73 stars on goodreads at the time I made this post. Gabrielle Hamilton is a chef who owns the restaurant Prune in NYC.

Then that prankster Reality appeared in the pickup truck ahead of me and started tossing watermelons out of the back.

She makes a fateful trip to her husband’s office where she is faced with an unpleasant mystery, and she realizes that she has made a critical mistake and has made plans for lunch with an entirely different person – a person from her past she didn’t plan on ever seeing again. Her plans for the day include breakfast with her poetry instructor, yoga, lunch with a friend she hates, picking her son up from school, and then “giving back” to her husband, Joe, a prominent hand surgeon.

Even though the platform experienced a constant increase in followers, 2012 was marked by a sudden demand whereby nearly the entire globe wanted an account. Gladwell’s position can be related to a few years ago when Instagram, a social media platform, was first introduced into the market.
