Product Information
W]it, vigor, and gleeful, necessary profanity sheer crackling energy." --"The New York Times Book Review" Fresh out of university with big dreams, our narrator is determined to escape his past and lead the literary life in London. But soon he is two months behind on rent and forced to take a menial job in the kitchen of The Swan, a gastro-pub with haute cuisine aspirations. Mockingly called Monocle by his co-workers for a useless English lit degree, he is thrust into a brutal, chaotic world full of motley characters. There s the lovably dim pastry chef Dibden; combative Ramilov, who spends a fair bit of time locked in the walk-in fridge for pissing people off; Racist Dave, about whom the less said the better; Camp Charles, the officious head waiter; and Harmony, the only woman in a workplace of raunchy, immature, angry, drug-fueled men. Worst of all is the head chef, Bob, who runs the kitchen with an iron fist and an alarming taste for cruelty. But Monocle s past is never far away and soon an altogether darker tale unfolds. As the chefs dreams of overthrowing Bob become a reality, Monocle s dead-beat father shows up at his door, asking for help. With The Swan struggling to stay afloat and Monocle s father dredging up lingering questions from an unhappy childhood, "Chop Chop "accelerates toward its blackly hilarious, thrilling, and ruthless conclusion. "Kirkus Review" Arch comedy... Dave Eggers channels Anthony Bourdain. "Entertainment Weekly""Darkly comic... a first course worth savoring. Grade: B+""""

Reviews
Publishers Weekly : "Wroe's imaginative metaphors and gritty kitchen colloquialisms are the key ingredients in a story that will appeal to anyone with a taste for the morbid and the whimsical." Library Journal : "A kitchen confessional that makes Anthony Bourdain's and Bill Buford's memoirs pale in comparison. Foodies will like this insider account of the London gastro scene, while others will appreciate a ripping good yarn." Kirkus Reviews "Our narrator is a recent graduate of one of London's many English literature programs and believes himself the next wunderkind of the publishing scene. As his hopes are dashed on the rocks of reality, he takes a job as the resident "bitch" in a rough-hewn kitchen called The Swan, where he's quickly dubbed "Monacle" by the crew. This ensemble comedy is the best part of the novel , pitting the sensitive writer against merciless head chef Bob, the aptly named "Racist Dave," a salacious molester named Ramilov, daft pastry chef Dibden, and a quiet, dark-eyed girl named Harmony who captures Monacle's heart... Following the arch comedy of The Swan's kitchen and the familial drama, Wroe finishes his kitchen epic with a monstrous encounter with an unsavory local crime lord that may leave even the most jaded readers a bit shocked... Proceed with caution. For British readers, David Nicholls meets Guy Ritchie; for Americans, Dave Eggers channels Anthony Bourdain. " Gary Shteyngart, author of Super Sad True Love Story "A brutally funny look at the world of professional cooking. Sometimes the truth is so strange it needs to be sautéed in a pan of fiction." Anya Von Bremzen, author Mastering the Art of Soviet Cooking: A Memoir of Food and Longing "Furiously funny, fast, surreal, brutal- Chop Chop puts a Dickensian supercharge into the behind-the-scenes goings-on of a restaurant kitchen. The heat and the profanity feel painfully ℜ the prose, masterfully stylized, definitely the stuff of fiction. The vividly drawn characters stay with you for a long time. If Chop Chop were a dish, I'd keep craving more." Scott Hutchins, author of A Working Theory of Love "If like me, you've ever made your living from restaurant work, you'll recognize The Swan with a comical shiver. Chop Chop captures the combustible mix of sadism, gallows humor, machismo, and surprising perfectionism that powers many a professional kitchen. And it's all served up to us in great fun.", Entertainment Weekly " Kitchen Nightmares has nothing on the horrors of the Swan, the fancy London restaurant in Wroe's darkly comic novel. In the eyes of our unnamed narrator, a student-turned-novice chef, the Swan's kitchen is a torture chamber - but also a sanctuary for its staff of oddballs, who thrive on filthy potshots. ('You've got the fattest arse I've ever seen. We should get your arse in a pan and render it.') Plot isn't Wroe's strongest suit; the story hinges on a shadowy, underdeveloped villain known only as the Fat Man and his cultlike dinner club. But brightly drawn characters and delectable writing (a frazzled chef's head is said to look 'farther away than ever, pushed out of the top of his body like toothpaste from a tube') make this debut a first course worth savoring.
