For audio books, I care deeply about the narrator and I tend to enjoy it when the author reads the book themselves. Molly Wizenberg did not narrate, but it was a female narrator so you could almost pretend it was her! I have never heard Molly's voice, but I just wish she had because I feel as though the author gives more character to their own words than a narrator does as they are not their own words. But I did love how the narrator jokingly did the male voices almost as if she was making fun of her own impressions, it felt so real and true to how the author had intended it.

With recipes throughout the book, I did feel like listening to the book I was missing out on being able to recreate some of her dishes, but I can absolutely go get a copy from a library and do them then. But listening to her adventures in constructing, opening and operating a restaurant was beyond entertaining for my morning and evening commutes.

I had a personal connection to this book because my parents used to live in Seattle and frequently travel there for my dad's job. I have challenged my mom to listen to this book and then visit the restaurant and provide feedback! I hope she does both soon.
