Publisher Description LONGLISTED for the National Book Award 2019Michelin-starred chef Iliana Regans (Elizabeth, Kitsune) culinary memoir, chronicling this intensely driven chefs upbringing in rural Northwest Indiana, her battle with addiction, and the development of her career in urban restaurants. A singular, powerfully expressive debut memoir that traces one chefs struggle to find her place and what happens once she does.Burn the Place is a galvanizing memoir that chronicles Iliana Regans journey from foraging on the family farm to running her Michelin-starred restaurant, Elizabeth. Her story is raw like that first bite of wild onion, alive with startling imagery, and told with uncommon emotional power.Regan grew up the youngest of four headstrong girls on a small farm in Northwest Indiana. While gathering raspberries as a toddler, Regan preternaturally understood to pick just the ripe fruit and leave the rest for another day. In the familys leaf-strewn fields, the orange flutes of chanterelles beckoned her while they eluded others.Regan has had this intense, almost otherworldly connection with food and the earth it comes from since her childhood, but connecting with people has always been more difficult. She was a little girl who longed to be a boy, gay in an intolerant community, an alcoholic before she turned twenty, and a woman in an industry dominated by men - she often felt she wasnt made for this world, and as far as she could tell, the world tended to agree. But as she learned to cook in her childhood farmhouse, got her first restaurant job at age fifteen, taught herself cutting-edge cuisine while running a new gatherer underground supper club, and worked her way from front-of-house staff to running her own kitchen, Regan found that food could help her navigate the strangeness of the world around her.Regan cooks with instinct, memory, and an emotional connection to her ingredients that cant be taught. Written from that same place of instinct and emotion, Burn the Place tells Regans story in raw and vivid prose and brings readers into a world - from the Indiana woods to elite Chicago kitchens - that is entirely original and unforgettable.Burn the Place Is a thrilling, disquieting memoir of addiction and coming of age. - The New YorkerBurn the Place is a "chef memoir" only in the sense that the author turned out to be a chef. More rightly, it belongs on a shelf with the great memoirs of addiction, of gender ambivalence and queer coming-of-age, of the grand disillusionment that comes from revisiting, as a clear-eyed adult, the deceptive perfection of childhood. - Helen Rosner, The New York Times, read the full review hereWith this deeply personal work, Iliana reminds us that there is great strength in vulnerability. Her story is one of resilience, determination, and vision. - Rene Redzepi, chef and co-owner of NomaIt turns out that Iliana Regan writes the way she cooks: with a voice thats bold and soulful, tender and tough, impossible to ignore, and utterly her own. Burn the Place is much more than an account of hustling in the kitchen. Its a story about identity and addiction. Its about getting creative and becoming a boss. And its full of scenes of gothic drama that still give me goosebumps when I think of them. - Jeff Gordinier, author of HungryWhat bold new voice is this? Iliana Regan is out to shake up the literary world in the same was shes shaken the culinary world. Unexpected, flavorful, and distinctive, Burn the Place is a debut to savor. - Beth Ann Fennelly, author of Heating & Cooling: 52 Micro-MemoirsRenowned chef Iliana Regan turns stuffy patriarchal stereotypes upside down. She is self-taught, charismatic, delightfully foul-mouthed, and utterly devoid of pretension as she parallels her ascent in the culinary world with a past strewn with AA chips, jail cell stints, and brutal family losses. This groundbreaking memoir reinvents the well-worn trope of the bad boy superstar chef, presenting us instead with a palpably vulnerable, complicatedly feminist, and sexy-queer-girl genius who takes no prisoners, including herself. Regans wild rags-to-Michelin story has appeal far beyond the foodie market, particularly among those hungry for tales of unapologetic women who have made it entirely on their own terms. - Gina Frangello, author of A Life in Men and Every Kind of Wanting Author Biography Iliana Regan is a self-taught chef. She is the founder and owner of the Michelin-starred "new gatherer" restaurant Elizabeth and the Japanese-inspired pub Kitsune, both located in Chicago. Her cuisine highlights her midwestern roots and the pure flavor of the often foraged ingredients of her upbringing. A James Beard Award and Jean Banchet Award nominee, Regan was named one of Food & Wines Best New Chefs 2016.
