While chronicling her evolution as a writer, Ginsberg takes a behind-the-scenes look at restaurant liferevealing that yes, when pushed, a server will spit in food, and, no, that's not really decaf you're gettingand how most people in this business are in a constant state of waiting to do something else.Colorful, insightful, and often irreverent, Ginsberg's stories truly capture the spirit of the universal things she's learned about human nature, interpersonal relationships, the frightening things that go on in the kitchen, romantic hopes dashed and rebuilt, and all of the frustrating and funny moments in this life. Waiting is for everyone who has had to wait for their life to beginonly to realize, suddenly, that they're living it.
