About All or Nothing: One Chef’s Appetite for the Extreme

“Remember, it’s not just about the food–it has to be an experience.” Thirty-one-year-old Jesse Schenker has rocketed to the top of the culinary world. An Iron Chef winner and a James Beard nominee, he was voted Best New Chef by New York magazine, and his acclaimed Recette was named Best New Restaurant by the New York Times. Manhattan magazine has called him “a boy wonder . . . young, hungry, and talented,” while Zagat has hailed him as a “wunderkind.” But Jesse’s epic rise masks a little-known past filled with demons and obsession, genius and mania. “For as long as I can remember, I’ve had this unquenchable thirst to keep moving, going, and doing. I’ve never felt comfortable in my own skin and have always needed an outlet for that uneasiness.” Jesse first found that outlet in the South Florida kitchens where he showed great promise as a teenager, but it was in those same kitchens that he was introduced to the world of hard drugs. He was fourteen when he first got arrested and seventeen when he became physically addicted to Oxycontin. Becoming a high school dropout addicted to heroin and crack, alienated from his family and wanted by the cops, by the age of twenty-one Jesse had overdosed and nearly been beaten to death while robbing, cheating, and lying to everyone in his life. After getting arrested and going to jail, Jesse got clean and slowly put back together the pieces of his fractured life, ultimately channeling the same energy that had earlier fueled his addiction into making a name for himself in the fast-paced, competitive New York restaurant scene. In this startling and down-to-earth memoir, he lays it all on the table for the first time, coming clean about his insatiable appetite for the extreme–which has led to his biggest triumphs and failures–and shares the shocking story of his turbulent life. All or Nothing is a candid exploration of the manic culture of some of the world’s most celebrated kitchens. A drug-fueled, anxiety-ridden epic, it reads like a rollicking rock-and-roll memoir–with amazing food.
