3.5 stars really, because I often time wondered where this book was going. If you are into watching Top Chef, you'll probably like this book about a band of brothers getting older/coming into their own as one of them opens a new restaurant. The women characters are just two dimensional props that love their men, reassure them from their neurosis, and lend a helping hand when they can. Still, it's a decent read and had me hungry for most of the book. I hated the cover, by the way.

I was pretty bored all the way through this book. Nothing really happened except everyday life and that does not make for an interesting story. The only thing that kept me coming back was the food and the fact that I don't like to leave things unfinished.
