Eleven years later, EMP was named the best restaurant in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow did Guidara pull off this unprecedented transformation? Radical reinvention, a true partnership between the kitchen and the dining room—and memorable, over-the-top, bespoke hospitality. Guidara’s team surprised a family who had never seen snow with a magical sledding trip to Central Park after their dinner; they filled a private dining room with sand, complete with mai-tais and beach chairs, to console a couple with a cancelled vacation. And his hospitality extended beyond those dining at the restaurant to his own team, who learned to deliver praise and criticism with intention; why the answer to some of the most pernicious business dilemmas is to give more—not less; and the magic that can happen when a busser starts thinking like an owner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToday, every business can choose to be a hospitality business—and we can all transform ordinary transactions into extraordinary experiences. Featuring sparkling stories of his journey through restaurants, with the industry’s most famous players like Daniel Boulud and Danny Meyer, Guidara urges us all to find the magic in what we do—for ourselves, the people we work with, and the people we serve.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":57685777711477,"sku":"9781529146837","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781529146837_732b75e8-146d-40b4-8d4a-4cafac1ceb99.jpg?v=1792598960"},{"product_id":"eleven-madison-park","title":"Eleven Madison Park","description":"\u003cp\u003eEleven Madison Park is one of New York City's preeminent fine-dining establishments, where Chef Daniel Humm marries the latest culinary techniques with classical technique.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnder Chef Humm’s leadership, the restaurant has soared to new heights and has become one of the premier dining destinations in the world. \u003ci\u003eEleven Madison Park: The Cookbook\u003c\/i\u003e is a sumptuous tribute to the unforgettable experience of dining in the restaurant.
