Voices from the Kitchen

Voices from the Kitchen: Personal Narratives from New York's Immigrant Restaurant Workers (Beacon Press 2025) by Marc Meyer

This book contains the transcript of 27 interviews with people who work in restaurants in NY. All of them are immigrants, and they tell their stories of how they ended up where they are. It is mostly interesting, but does get a little repetitious as most of the stories are the same. But there are a few excpetional stories. Definately stories of our times.
