520 "For years, Kim's day job was a social worker to the home-
bound elderly in Brooklyn Heights. Then she'd scramble
into Manhattan to make her hostess shifts at Babbo, where
even the Pope would have trouble scoring a reservation,
and Gwyneth Paltrow and Ryan Reynolds squeezed through the
jam-packed entryway like everyone else. Despite her
sometimes fifteen-hour days, Kim couldn't make ends meet,
up to her eyeballs in grad school debt. Her social work
training -- problem solving, crisis intervention work,
dealing with unpredictable people and random situations --
made her the ideal assistant for Joe Bastianich, a hard-
partying, "What's next?" food and wine entrepreneur who
drummed up new business ventures one after another. He
rose to fame in Italy as a TV star while Kim planned
parties, fielded calls, and negotiated his deals from a
cell phone on the go. Eventually, something had to give,
and that was Kim herself. With no life outside her job,
she was panicked about ending up alone without building
the family she craved. Workhorse is a deep-dive into the
chaos of the NYC foodie craze as well as an all-too-
relatable look at what happens when your job takes over
your life, and when a scandal upends your understanding of
where you work and what you do. As Kim realized, if you
can make the impossible possible for someone else, you can
do the same for yourself"--|cProvided by publisher.
