A Time Well Spent is a never-before-seen insider's view of the financial and artistic genius that made all of these great restaurants possible. Jerome Brody began Restaurant Associates and masterminded the creation of America's first great restaurants. Jerome Brody single-handedly put American restaurant dining on a par with the best of Europe by creating restaurants such as The Four Seasons, Gallagher's, The Rainbow Room, La Fonda del Sol, L'Etoile, and the Grand Central Oyster Bar. Brody's magnificent rise to the top and the turmoil that led to his removal from Restaurant Associates in a bloody coup engineered by his father-in-law, to the building of a new restaurant and breeding empire, Freundlich captures in great detail the life of a man of extraordinary talent and will.
