Cooked
Posted Fri Apr 13, 2007, 10:13 AM ET
On my morning stroll through the intertubes, I hit Freakonomics, as is my wont. Today, Stephen J. Dubner is raving about Jeff Henderson's Cooked. Henderson, the new executive chef at Cafe Bellagio, leaned to cook in prison, where he was incarcerated for dealing crack.
Dubner excerpted a passage on the economics of prison cooking—not the cost per serving of the entrees, but the pay-offs and hidden economics of getting things done. Gosh it's good writing—detailed, tight, and fast-paced. So I went looking for another excerpt and found a nice, long one at abcnews.com. It's even better.
I have got to read Cooked.
