Product Description
If you love restaurants and you love to travel, this book will be your bible! From the private tatami rooms at Ten-Ichi in Tokyo to the sidewalk tables at Da Silvano in New York City, EVERYBODY EATS THERE: Inside the World's Legendary Restaurants by William Stadiem and Mara Gibbs is the ultimate tour of the liveliest, most beautiful, most delicious, most glamorous, most exclusive 100 restaurants on earth-and how they got that way.
Stadiem and Gibbs reveal the mystique and excitement of the world's most fabulous eateries that are packed with A-listers every night. Funny, acerbic, totally in-the-know, EVERYBODY EATS THERE is part travelogue, part social commentary to give readers the real inside dish. Dine topless with Pamela Anderson in St. Tropez, share roast suckling pig with Bill Clinton in Madrid, eat the best Italian food on earth in San Paolo, party with The Stones in Tokyo, join the Joint Chiefs of Staff in a Wild West saloon and get picked up by Warren Beatty in Los Angeles.
EVERYBODY EATS THERE weaves together lavish celebrity stories and incisive biographies of the famed chefs and restaurateurs with descriptions of the food that will whet appetites and jump-start plans for future dining excursions. Stadiem and Gibbs-with their discerning palates and social antennae-tell us what to eat, what to wear and how to behave once we make it in. Most guidebooks are about one city, or one country, and overload you with bad choices. EVERYBODY EATS THERE looks at restaurants as one global food club. And we're invited to join in.
The result-an engrossing read on the history of modern dining. Read how:
- Al Capone embraces JOE'S STONE CRAB in Miami as his favorite dining spot
- Henri Soule jumps ship after the 1939 World's Fair and invents Manhattan snob French cuisine at LE PAVILION
- Ernest Hemingway turns readers into foodies by mythologizing CASA BOTIN in Madrid and HARRY'S BAR in Venice
- Hairdresser Michael Chow opens the first MR CHOW in London during the swinging sixties. It was architecturally famous for its firehouse staircase for looking up miniskirts
- DAVE in Paris pushes the envelope of snob appeal by serving take-out level Chinese fare to the world's chic-est crowd
- Princess Diana anoints SAN LORENZO as London's royal trattoria
- Alice Waters builds a special bathroom for future presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton at CHEZ PANISSE
And much, much more!
The dream tour, EVERYBODY EATS THERE reveals the juiciest details from the backstories to the back rooms, from what's on the menus to what's even better off, from the glamorous (and sometimes scandalous) clientele to the high-powered chefs. And now, we can be a part of this international delight of food, fun and fame!

Everybody eats there May 3, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
"Everybody eats there" is the best dinner party gift I have ever come across. Well written, witty and meticulously researched, it tells everything you ever wanted to know, from the menu to the clientele and history, about the most exclusive restaurants in the world, the ones you always dreamt of going to. I have personally been lucky enough to have gone to many of the 100 restaurants described in this book and after reading it I realized I really did not know much about them!

This is a great book -- even if you are not a "foody", you'll delight in the people watching you participate in as you read this book that takes you around the world to the secret chic enclaves of where the cool set dine. It's not just a "see and be seen" dull gossip tome -- it is a mini tour of the best restaurants that is about the food and about the glitterati who frequent these hot spots.
It is a lively read and a great Baedeker to the inner sanctum of the coolest places to dine around the globe. It's very well researched, but far from dull.
an enjoyable read and a perfect gift for anybody interested in the world of classy restaurants April 25, 2007

You don't need to be a foodie in search of getting star-struck to enjoy reading this book, even though you may expect such from the title. To be sure it contains a lot of useful and updated information on what are the places to go, but there's more here in that reading all the little background stories is a pleasure in itself, even to someone, who has never been to any of those places before, offering more current insights into the probably ageless habit of socialising around food, pleasure, rank and status.
To mention there is an almost literary quality to the stories and a love of detail as to the whole book, inside and on the cover, which makes you want to touch it. The perfect gift A+++
a must-read to plan your summer world whirl April 24, 2007
This is a foodie's delight, a fun read, and the perfect guide to the grand, sparkly, delicious restaurants of the world.
These places are famous for good reason, and the authors give each unique 4-1-1 on why -- food, ambience, people, all of the above.
A great gift for any gourmet in one's life, and a fine travelogue of where to eat during summer vacation!
