Summary

In the most profound and profane cookbook you'll ever read, Kenny Shopsin takes us through his nine-hundred-plus-item menu as well as his unique philosophical views of the world. His rant about why the customer isn't always right may make your jaw drop, and his explanation of how he deconstructed the entire soupmaking process may leave you shaking your head in wonderment, but his recipes will have you racing to the stove to try them out.
