Onwuachi is a former Top Chef competitor but this memoir tells a much bigger story of a hard worker whose interesting childhood had him living with relatives in Nigeria in addition to his home base in the Bronx with his mother and step father. An admitted handful as a child, he was not a strong student and ended up majoring in "drug dealing" in his first attempt at higher ed. But then he became focused on food and cooking. He started his own catering company and ended up studying at the Culinary Institute of America. This path led to Top Chef but that is the least interesting part of the story that I enjoyed hearing from the horses mouth.
