  • Hannah Selinger's new memoir reflects on her years spent working at restaurants like Momofuku and Jean-Georges

The article "In 'Cellar Rat,' a Sommelier's Righteous Indignation About the Restaurant Industry" by Andrew Cotto, published on MSN, discusses the memoir "Cellar Rat: A Wine Memoir" by Andrew Mullins. The book delves into Mullins' experiences as a sommelier, highlighting the often overlooked and underappreciated role of wine service in the restaurant industry. Mullins expresses his frustrations with the industry's treatment of sommeliers, including the lack of recognition, the grueling work conditions, and the pervasive sexism and racism. He critiques the culture of fine dining, where the focus is predominantly on the chef, while the sommelier's expertise and labor are frequently sidelined. The memoir serves as both a personal narrative and a broader commentary on the inequities within the hospitality sector, advocating for a more equitable and respectful environment for all staff involved in the dining experience.
