I regret almost everything : a memoir

Keith McNally

The entertaining, irreverent, and surprisingly moving memoir by the visionary restaurateur behind such iconic New York institutions as Balthazar and Pastis ... taking us from his gritty London childhood in the fifties to his serendipitous arrival in New York, where hefounded the era-defining establishments the Odeon, Cafe Luxembourg,and Nell's. Eloquent and opinionated, Keith McNally writes about the angst of being a child actor, his lack of insights from travelingoverland to Kathmandu at nineteen, the instability of his two marriages and family relationships, his devastating stroke, and his Instagram notoriety"--
