内容简介 If you love restaurants and you love to travel, this book will be your bible! From the private tatami rooms at Ten-Ichi in Tokyo to the sidewalk tables at Da Silvano in New York City, EVERYBODY EATS THERE: Inside the World's Legendary Restaurants by William Stadiem and Mara Gibbs is the ultimate tour of the liveliest, most beautiful, most delicious, most glamorous, most exclusive 100 restaurants on earth-and how they got that way.
Stadiem and Gibbs reveal the mystique and excitement of the world's most fabulous eateries that are packed with A-listers every night. Funny, acerbic, totally in-the-know, EVERYBODY EATS THERE is part travelogue, part social commentary to give readers the real inside dish. Dine topless with Pamela Anderson in St. Tropez, share roast suckling pig with Bill Clinton in Madrid, eat the best Italian food on earth in San Paolo, party with The Stones in Tokyo, join the Joint Chiefs of Staff in a Wild West saloon and get picked up by Warren Beatty in Los Angeles.
EVERYBODY EATS THERE weaves together lavish celebrity stories and incisive biographies of the famed chefs and restaurateurs with descriptions of the food that will whet appetites and jump-start plans for future dining excursions. Stadiem and Gibbs-with their discerning palates and social antennae-tell us what to eat, what to wear and how to behave once we make it in. Most guidebooks are about one city, or one country, and overload you with bad choices. EVERYBODY EATS THERE looks at restaurants as one global food club. And we're invited to join in.
The result-an engrossing read on the history of modern dining. Read how:
Al Capone embraces JOE'S STONE CRAB in Miami as his favorite dining spot
Henri Soule jumps ship after the 1939 World's Fair and invents Manhattan snob French cuisine at LE PAVILION
Ernest Hemingway turns readers into foodies by mythologizing CASA BOTIN in Madrid and HARRY'S BAR in Venice
Hairdresser Michael Chow opens the first MR CHOW in London during the swinging sixties. It was architecturally famous for its firehouse staircase for looking up miniskirts
DAVE in Paris pushes the envelope of snob appeal by serving take-out level Chinese fare to the world's chic-est crowd
Princess Diana anoints SAN LORENZO as London's royal trattoria
Alice Waters builds a special bathroom for future presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton at CHEZ PANISSE
And much, much more!
The dream tour, EVERYBODY EATS THERE reveals the juiciest details from the backstories to the back rooms, from what's on the menus to what's even better off, from the glamorous (and sometimes scandalous) clientele to the high-powered chefs. And now, we can be a part of this international delight of food, fun and fame!
作者简介 William Stadiem’s books have sold millions of copies. They include the best-selling
Marilyn Monroe Confidential, Dear Senator, Mr. S., and the novel
Lullaby and Goodnight; his screenplays include an Emmy-nominated
LA Law episode, Franco Zeffirelli’s
Young Toscanini, and
Garrison (which became Oliver Stone’s
JFK). He has been a columnist for
Interview, Movieline and
Tatler and a restaurant critic for
Buzz and
Los Angeles Magazine and a correspondent for
Food Arts. Originally from North Carolina, Stadiem now lives in Los Angeles.^Mara Gibbs has produced theater, television and film, promoted concerts, scouted for models, and worked at her brother Peter Morton’s Hard Rock Cafes and Mortons in London and Los Angeles. Fluent in Spanish, French, and Italian, she has eaten in Michelin-starred restaurants all over the world. She divides her time between Los Angeles and New York City where—on any given night—she’s seated at the best tables in the best restaurants.
专业书评 From Publishers WeeklyStadiem (Marilyn Monroe Confidential) and Gibbs (of the famed Morton family restaurateurs) delve into the not-so-secret secrets of famous and favored eateries worldwide. Stadiem and Gibbs stick with the icons, but the unfortunate result is that anyone interested in marquee dining likely already knows the inside scoop doled out here. New York's Elaine's gets tagged, for instance, as "the Lion Country Safari of American letters, all giants, no midlisters," while the short-on-patience waiters at Brooklyn steakhouse Peter Luger serves heart attacks on a plate. How about dining at The Ivy in the heart of London's theater district? "It's so good and obvious a choice that you can't get in unless you're a star." And a trip to the Hotel Costes restaurant in Paris will-shocker-leave you feeling inadequate. Though the book's mission to "enable outsiders to feel like insiders" is noble, the dope proffered is minimal.

From the Back Cover Full of movie stars, tycoons, statesmen, athletes, and supermodels, with sex, money, style, and glamour,
Everybody Eats There is a fun, delicious read.
Matsuhisa • Nobu began modestly, with a little sushi bar in LA, which happened to be across the street from the hospital where the Hollywood hotshots had heart surgery. And the collision of incredibly healthful food with incredibly rich people with heart problems spawned the biggest restaurant empire in the world.
Arpège • Paris chef Alain Passard on why he turned off meat and on to vegetables: "I couldn't keep having a creative relationship with a corpse."
Cipriani Downtown • Where Bellinis are served to the elite of Elite (the model agency) and the world's most famous dirty old men—Harvey Weinstein, Mick Jagger, Jack Nicholson.
Sweetings • You sit with London's financial elite—Hambros, Rothschilds, and Goldsmiths—at long wooden counters and eat grilled Dover sole, or deep-fried plaice, with chips. Forget green vegetables; real Englishmen don’t touch 'em.
Mr Chow • More LA paparazzi are camped out here than at a Tom Cruise film premiere, and more leg is on display than in a Hanes panty hose commercial.
Elaine's • And so Plimpton brought in the young, struggling Gay Talese. And Talese brought in the young and less struggling Tom Wolfe. And in the course of ten years, Elaine's had become the most celebrity-packed restaurant in the world, all because Elaine had a fondness for writers, and let them float their bills.
Dan Tana's • Girls Who Kick Ass love this LA version of a New Jersey steak house. So did Phil Spector, who went here for a Caesar salad and two glasses of wine ($50 bill, $500 tip) before he took Lana Clarkson back to his château and allegedly shot her in the head.
Al Moro • At precisely one, a crowd of men in dark suits storm the doors. Is Al Moro being raided? No, but they are the authorities: Italian senators and ministers and other bigwigs from the nearby parliament, but they're only here to eat.

文摘 La Grenouille—The Frog Pond
There are several perennial nominees for the quintessential New York meal: a hot dog in Coney Island, a prime steak in Brooklyn, spaghetti and meatballs in Little Italy, curry in the East Village, Chinese takeout in a high-rise. Those are all vintage New York, to be sure. But the meal that captures the power and the glory of the Big Apple—the meal that established the bona fides of restaurantdom here, that allowed New York to become the restaurant capital of the world—was the haute snob, haute cuisine, power-seating blowout at a French temple of gastronomy in Midtown. Like the Jewish delis, these French temples are falling fast. Most of the big names—Lutèce, La Caravelle, La Côte Basque—have given up the ghost in recent years. But La Grenouille, arguably the most elegant temple of them all, is still proudly standing. And its congregation may be the richest, most connected, most powerful worshippers in the old-time religion that is food.
Located in a quaint Tudor cottage off Fifth Avenue that used to be the stable of the city’s top abortionist, La Grenouille is incongruous amid the anonymous towering skyscrapers of Fifth and Madison that have turned Midtown Manhattan into almost another Dallas or Houston. Almost. Because Dallas and Houston don’t have anything like La Grenouille, not even close. Inside, the restaurant has a unique rosy glow, aided in part by the five-foot-tall floral masterpieces, the deep red banquettes, the red silk wallpaper, and the electric bulbs that are painted pink. Until recently you could never look in: the big window into the bar was draped by curtains. But now the curtains have been pulled back, and from the street you can get a glimpse of the spectacular room, with its rows of banquettes around the perimeter, filled with the high and mighty sitting side by side, chic to chic. If you’re not in one of those banquettes, you probably do
