"Serving Life: Behind Bars, Kitchens, and Hospitality" is a compelling narrative that takes readers on a journey through the vibrant yet challenging world of hospitality. Authored by Justin Morales, a seasoned professional, this book offers an authentic glimpse into the life behind the scenes of kitchens and bars. Starting at 17, Morales navigates through dyslexia, financial hardships, and a feral upbringing to find his true calling in the chaotic yet rewarding realm of hospitality.

Each chapter delves into different aspects of the industry - from the adrenaline rush in the kitchen, the camaraderie found in shared struggles, to the art of bartending and the impact of crazy hours. Morales shares not only his personal experiences but also the stories of diverse colleagues, celebrating the unique fabric of the hospitality world.

Importantly, the book doesn't shy away from the darker sides of the industry, discussing addiction, mental health issues, and the collective resilience shown during the Covid epidemic. It serves as an ode to the unsung heroes of hospitality - the chefs, bartenders, and servers - and a testament to the unbreakable spirit that defines them.

Comparisons to Anthony Bourdain are overdone and almost always exaggerated but I can't think of a better way to describe Justin's writing than as Bourdain-esque. Like Bourdain, Justin is a true restaurant world insider who writes about the other side of the bar (and kitchen doors) in all their zany, booze-soaked, glory but doesn't get stuck on inside baseball. In other words, this recipe is accessible. Justin's hard-knuckled prose is always witty and informative and full of the secret and hard defined ingredient that powers any beloved restaurant: heart.
