About this ebook
In this inviting feast of a memoir, former New York Times food columnist Jonathan Reynolds dishes up a life that is by turns hilarious and tender–and seasoned with the zest of cooking, family, eating, and lounging around various tables in tryptophanic stupors.

Reviews for Wrestling with Gravy
2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A food memoir of sorts by a somewhat famous person (that I hadn't heard of -playwright and food writer. "Wrestling" has some interesting insights and sentences that make you think twice, but overall I had a sense that the writer tried to cram too much in here - politics, food, family, career - and it didn't form a coherent whole. It took a long time to read.
