""I devoured Drew Nieporent's delicious memoir, I'm Not Trying to Be Difficult, the page-turning story of a restaurateur's restaurateur, whose insatiable appetites for food, hospitality, showmanship, and winning have fueled one of our industry's most legendary characters and careers."" --Danny Meyer, Author of Setting the Table, the Transforming Power of Hospitality in Business ""I've always enjoyed listening to Drew talk about his New York. I admire his ability to be honest about what he's going through. His opinions, insights, successes and failures are never a secret. Through his experiences, young restaurateurs can gain some great insights into the world of restaurants."" --Rich Melman ""Drew Nieporent is a born storyteller. Lively and inviting, he brings the frenzy and excitement of the New York dining scene to life with the same energy and warmth he's brought to his restaurants throughout his incredible career."" --Harlan Coben
