About Heather Whaley: Heather Whaley is an actress, writer, and lifelong eater. Her play Social Note was the first play to appear in the storied Oak Room of the Algonquin Hotel. I Will Not Marry Anthony Porter! will have its Off-Broadway premiere in 2009. Her television pilot, Sharon Shaw, is being developed for Lifetime, and her film project, Adult Children of Divorce, will go into production later this year. She lives in New York City with her husband and two children.
When The Waverly Inn restaurant opened in 2007 on a quiet corner in New York City's West Village, it became the place to be—if you could get in. With no listed phone number to make reservations, a veritable list of who's who filling the tables, and rave culinary reviews, it was nearly impossible to score a reservation. Now, in The Hunger: A Story of Food, Desire and Ambition, executive chef/partner John DeLucie takes you behind-the-scenes from the tiny kitchen to the front of the house to outside the restaurant where the paparazzi gather, and chronicles the twists and turns of his journey to his ultimate dream job. The Hunger is not only a look inside one of the hottest restaurants in the country, it's also DeLucie's page-turning story about how he ditched the security of a nine-to-five office job to follow his dream of becoming a chef. From his first (and only) cooking class at The New School in New York, through all the restaurant jobs that followed, we trail him for 15 years as he works his way through major challenges and a roller-coaster personal life to land the job of a lifetime. Woven throughout are hilarious stories of the snafus that happen at restaurants with alarming regularity, an insider's look at outlandish celebrity requests, and how the truffle mac 'n cheese came to be on the menu, as well as some of DeLucie's signature recipes. About John DeLucie: John DeLucie has been featured in The New York Times, New York Magazine, Town & Country, and on television on Martha Stewart, The Today Show, and The Early Show. John has contributed food and entertaining columns for Gotham magazine and has also written for The New York Times and Black Book magazine. He is a New York native, attended New York University, and lives steps away from The Waverly Inn. jeff@powerHouseArena.com
