Zibby welcomes legendary restaurateur Drew Nieporent to discuss his compelling, rollicking new memoir, I'M NOT TRYING TO BE DIFFICULT: Stories from the Restaurant Trenches. Drew reflects on his decades-long career shaping New York dining culture—from iconic spots like Tribeca Grill and Nobu to feeding workers after 9/11 and navigating the challenges of the pandemic. He also shares candid stories of success, setbacks, partnerships, and survival, along with deeply personal moments about his health, family, and resilience.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/3V7C6VuShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Follow @totallybookedwithzibby on Instagram for listening guides and more. **(Music by Morning Moon Music.
