I Remember Almost Nothing: A Memoir

By Elliot Cross

An entertaining, boldly candid, and unexpectedly touching memoir from the visionary force behind New York's most iconic restaurants, including Balthazar, Pastis, and Minetta Tavern.

In this razor-sharp and compelling memoir, legendary restaurateur Keith McNally traces his extraordinary journey from a rough-and-tumble childhood in 1950s London to the heart of New York's cultural and culinary revolution. Along the way, he reflects on his early days as a child actor, a misadventurous trip to Kathmandu, the turbulence of two marriages, the complexities of fatherhood, and his harrowing recovery from a life-altering stroke. With signature wit and unapologetic honesty, McNally also delves into his unlikely rise to Instagram infamy and the creation of beloved landmarks like The Odeon, Caf Luxembourg, and Nell's.

Irreverent, provocative, and deeply human, this is the remarkable life story of one of the most influential-and unpredictable-figures in modern hospitality.
