JH – :
Had a fantastic dining experience in Treyvauds Restaurant in Killarney recently.
The owner turned out to be a real character (headcase) and when he told me he’d written a book
about his life in the industry I had to buy a copy. Now, I normally take about 2
months to read a book, but “The Hooker in the Lobby”, I couldn’t put down. I was
reading it that late into the night, that Mrs. H sent me to the spare room. I finished
the book in 2 nights and was left wanting more. It’s a difficult one to review
other than to say that it’s a mouth-opening and eye-watering journey inside the Irish hospitality industry, but more importantly,
inside the mind of a hard-working, rebellious Dub who seems to take an unhealthy pleasure in placing his
balls on the chopping block. Fair play to Mr. Treyvaud on both his very fine restaurant and his literary gem.
It’s great, and wierdly reassuring, to see such success come to a bit of a mentaller :)

A great insight into what happens behind the scenes in the hospitality industry and the hard work involved to achieve personal success in the business. Written in a way that oozes the personality of the author. It had me in tears of laughter in parts and angry as hell in others with the hurdles faced by business people trying to make a living in these times. Worth checking out.
