Resumen del Editor
A down-and-out musician chops off his hair to become a server at the top of the Hollywood food chain, discovering a cloistered world of money, fame, bad behavior, and intrigue.
Waiter to the Rich and Shameless is not just a peek into the secretive inner workings of a legendary five-star restaurant; it is not just a celebrity tell-all or a scathing corporate analysis. It is a top-tier waiter's personal coming-of-age story, an intimate look into the complicated challenges of serving in the country's most elite, Hollywood-centric dining room while fighting to maintain a sense of self and purpose.
Of the many millions of food service workers around the globe, only a tiny number ever ascend to a top-level position at a world-renowned restaurant catering to iconic celebrities, moguls, and politicians. As one of those select few, Paul ("Pauli") Hartford is the first waiter to open the door into a cloistered, coveted world of money, fame, bad behavior, and intrigue. He peels back the veneer of civility and culture at the nation's most preeminent celebrity hangout, the Cricket Room, in Beverly Hills, California. He exposes the epic human foibles of its elite clientele, the dining room's corrupt corporate culture, its clandestine culinary practices, and the heartbreaking struggles of its beleaguered waitstaff.
This keenly-observed story also traverses Pauli's 10-year evolution from a jaded, party-hungry rock musician who moonlights as a bartender, into a snobbish and pretentious waiter, and finally into a polished and sophisticated server who takes his job so seriously that it drives him to the brink of illness. Pauli finds himself at first seduced by his famous guests' glamour and self-indulgence, then accustomed to it, and finally appalled by it.
For obvious reasons, some details and specifics about the real Cricket Room have been cleverly disguised, but discerning listeners will easily connect the dots.

Twenty-something Allie Simon is used to playing by the rules - until Chicago's most sought-after, up-and-coming culinary genius, Benji Zane, walks into her world and pulls her into his.

His struggle with addiction and his reckless tendency to live life on the edge, no matter the havoc he wreaks along the way.

This outrageously entertaining and bawdy roman à clef from reality TV star Bethenny Frankel follows a business-savvy, would-be actress in hot pursuit of the perfect man, the perfect job, and the perfect body. Burning through men like she burns through calories, our sexy, loud-mouthed heroine grasps at any opportunity that might take her to the top. Listeners will jump at the chance to hear about the thrilling highs and cringe-worthy lows of Bethenny’s first shaky steps into adulthood, told here in a fictional format.

In 2007 chef Grant Achatz seemingly had it made. He had been named one of the best new chefs in America by Food & Wine in 2002, received the James Beard Foundation Rising Star Chef of the Year Award in 2003, and in 2005 he and Nick Kokonas opened the conceptually radical restaurant Alinea, which was named Best Restaurant in America by Gourmet magazine. Then, Achatz was diagnosed with stage IV squamous cell carcinoma - tongue cancer.

But in I Hate Everyone, Except You, he reveals some heretofore unknown secrets about himself, like that he's a finicky connoisseur of 1980s pornography, a disillusioned critic of New Jersey's premier water parks, and perhaps the world's least enthused high school commencement speaker.

After a girls’ weekend in Savannah makes her realize that she is - yikes! - middle-aged (binge watching is so the new binge drinking), Jen decides to make a bucket list and seize the day.

Something was nagging Marina Shifrin. As a freshly minted adult with student loan payments and a “real” job she hated that paid her enough to get by if she also worked two other jobs, something needed to change. Marina and her friend each made lists of 30 things they’d do before the age of 30. The first thing on Marina’s list was, “Quit My Shitty Job”. So she did, and just like that the List powered her through her twenties. Told with humor and heart, 30 Before 30 will entertain, motivate, and challenge listeners to get out of their comfort zones and live their best lives.

Excellent!
I loved this book! Right from the beginning, you feel like the author is speaking directly to you. The person narrating on audible did a great job telling the story and had a very fitting tone for the overall feel. It was interesting, entertaining, and frequently comical. I'm assuming the people who wrote bad reviews because of it being "vulgar" didn't understand the initial warning. The author explains right in the beginning that it's a book about his life, which involves working in a restaurant and warns the reader of some adult content. The word "shameless" is in the title; what else did you expect!? The majority of content we read without conflict, deviation from the norm, and a little vulgarity is usually pretty dull anyway. So, yeah, if you were looking for some spiritual awakening or Christ-driven inspiration, this probably wasn't the book for you, and you should've listened to the warning. Anyone that likes to laugh and can appreciate a good story that is probably relatable to most- will enjoy this book!

Not quite as many stars as the "Cricket Room"
For the most part, it was a really enjoyable story. The author, a conceited fellow who must be a product of his LA / music scene environment, tells his own story with skill and an entertaining flair.
Much of his humour and POV is sexist misogyny, which got old and annoying quickly. Again, this is likely a product of the time and place.
I enjoyed the stories of the patrons antics, the descriptions of the meals, and I have a much deeper appreciation for the art of service than I did before listening to this book.
My partner and I save up through the year to have one 5-star dining experience per year on our anniversary, and we've always appreciated the effect of truly excellent food and service, which is why we will spend $500+ on a single meal for a very special occasion. The author truly appreciates and enjoys creating this experience as well, and it was great to get the server's perspective.
Even at a 5-star restaurant, it is still exceptional to receive the type of service he described.

Not what I expected, but interesting
Much of the authors private life and debauchery is presented, but this and the life as an upper class waiter was interesting.

A Binge readers delight
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Its fun to read especially if you have worked in the restaurant and service business. But even if you haven't you can learn something new.
What did you like best about this story?
That the rock star, want- to- be, got over himself and found some truth. The story is revealing and with authenticity. When Pauli was serving J Depp and his family he saved them from having an allergic reaction to foods he knew they couldn't eat and also managed to sell a very expensive bottle of wine , which then in the end was not preferred
What does James Patrick Cronin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Character and expression makes one pay more attention to detail.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Pauli's wife is such a saint its amazing that she would actually put up with him and his friendship with Jens.
Any additional comments?
Its a page turner, a binge readers delight! What's next??

Wow!
I am not sure what I expected from this book but I must say, it was great! It was the perfect amount of celebrities and how they really are and the life of a server! I really enjoyed the honesty that I heard from Paul throughout the book.

Fly on the wall. Loved the sneak peek.
I enjoyed the view into Hollywood. This writer pulled into the story and didn't let me go until the last page.
