Full of insightful wisdom, hilarious anecdotes, and tasty recipes, How to Feed Friends and Influence People tells the savory story of the Carnegie Deli, home of the world-famous gargantuan sandwich. Revealing the core business principles that have made the deli such a success, the book explains why and how the Carnegie became the delicatessen of choice for presidents, celebrities, at least one sultan, and millions of other (extremely) hungry diners from around the world. More than just a delightful and delicious tale of business success, this fascinating and funny book covers the deli's history, shows you how to make a real Brooklyn egg cream, and piles up loads of New York history. So get cooking
My father is 94 years old, in a nursing home in Honolulu Hawaii, and wanted cheese blintz's from the Carnegie Deli. A daunting task since they do not deliver to Hawaii. This book was an answer to my need to provide a taste of a memory for my father. The book is written tongue and check, a must to get the flavor of the Carnegie in NYC. My blintz turned out exactly as those served at the deli. Dry ice..over night delivery..$100 cost and my father's ultimate delight. The chef at the nursing home requested the recipe too. I have purchased the book to give to friends. It is an easy read and delights not only taste buds but the humor that we all need today in these stress filled times.
