My Restaurant Was the Greatest Show of Excess You’d Ever Seen, and It Almost Killed Me

“I was never falling-down drunk. I was never belligerent. I always got my work done. I was never unkempt. I was always clean, I was always shaved, I always performed at work. I was always kind and gracious in the dining room. But I lived in hell.”
