Cellar Rat

By Hannah Selinger

In this searing memoir, Hannah Selinger pulls back the curtain on New York’s fine-dining world, where Michelin stars gleam over a toxic culture. From the hushed elegance of wine cellars to the chaos of celebrity-driven kitchens, Selinger traces her path as a young sommelier through power, ambition, and betrayal. Raw, fearless, and unflinching, her story lays bare the beauty—and the price—of an industry that demands perfection at any cost.
