In I Regret Almost Everything: A Memoir, Keith McNally – legendary proprietor of Balthazar, Pastis, Minetta Tavern, and Morandi – takes us from his gritty London childhood in the 1950s to his arrival in New York, where he founded era-defining establishments including Odeon. Eloquent and opinionated, he writes about being a child actor, his two marriages, his devastating stroke, and his Instagram notoriety. In conversation with Aleksandra Crapanzano, Chocolat: Parisian Desserts and Other Delights.
