O knihe

After the events of 9/11 all but destroy
their Tribeca loft in New York City, Lewis and Tracey Gross
and their three coming of age sons relocate to their summer
home in Montauk in the East Hamptons. Tracey loves to cook
and has always dreamed of starting her own restaurant. Their
goal is to turn a run-down ice cream parlor into a
functional restaurant that serves substantial honest fare.
Montauk Tango provides an account of this family's journey
to restaurant ownership, from the purchase of the property
to its renovation and eventual opening in a seaside summer
retreat. Author Lewis Gross believes 668 the Gig Shack, a
Bohemian bistro, will be an immediate hit. But opening
weekend is a disaster. Unfortunately, some of the locals
don't want to see their fish turned into tacos or fishnets
worn as stockings. Novices in business, they encounter many
setbacks and a conspiracy by some of the locals to put them
out of business. With a touch of humor, this real-life
story accounts the stresses of opening a family restaurant
business, weekend fatherhood, and an attempt to teach tango
dancing to the local surfers and fishermen.
