All You Care to Eat - A Novice Buys a Restaurant

By Susan Church-Downer

Five years after their romantic breakup, Susan and her best friend buy a vegetarian buffet restaurant, having little idea how demanding, frustrating, and rewarding the endeavor will be. What could go wrong? In the crucible of financial pressures, challenging employees, customer expectations, and their own unresolved issues, they create an extraordinary venue for delicious, healthy food, art, music and community-and lose buckets of money.

This memoir spans their ten-year run and is for anyone who has fantasized about owning a restaurant as well as those already doing it. At its heart are the stories of the crew who came and went-their tragedies and triumphs-and the struggles of two best friends to stay friends while dealing with them.

Included are recipes for their signature soups, salad dressings, curries, corn bread, and coconut tapioca-all delicious and vegan.
