Generation Chef: Risking It All for a New American Dream

Inside what life is really like for the new generation of professional cooksâ€”a captivating tale of the make-or-break first year at a young chefâ€™s new restaurant.
Â
For many young people, being a chef is as compelling a dream as being a rock star or professional athlete. Skill and creativity in the kitchen are more profitable than ever before, as cooks scramble to reach the topâ€”but talent isnâ€™t enough. Todayâ€™s chef needs the business savvy of a high-risk entrepreneur, determination, and big dose of luck.Â

The heart of Generation Chef is the story of Jonah Miller, who at age twenty-four attempts to fulfill a lifelong dream by opening the Basque restaurant Huertas in New York City, still the high-stakes center of the restaurant business for an ambitious young chef. Miller, a rising star who has been named to the 30-Under-30 list of both Forbes and Zagat, quits his job as a sous chef, creates a business plan, lines up investors, leases a space, hires a staff, and gets ready to put his reputation and his future on the line.

Journalist and food writer Karen Stabiner takes us inside Huertasâ€™s roller-coaster first year, but also provides insight into the challenging world a young chef faces todayâ€”the intense financial pressures, the overcrowded field of aspiring cooks, and the impact of reviews and social media, which can dictate who survives.

A fast-paced narrative filled with suspense, Generation Chef is a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at drive and passion in one of todayâ€™s hottest professions.
