Editorial Reviews

White Heat changed the rules of the game. It altered how chefs saw themselves. Its republication now is a chance to gaze back at the last 25 years in the restaurant world, all that chaos and preening and tattooed magic, and to observe a world that, for better and occasionally worse, Mr. White had spawned…Great movements require charismatic figures. The Beats needed Kerouac, rock music needed Mick Jagger. The sexy will lead us, at least as long as they bring the goods. Like Kerouac and Mr. Jagger, Mr. White had the talent and the ambition to back up his swagger.
