Tiny Hot Dogs

A Memoir in Small Bites

De: Mary Giuliani

Narrado por: Mary Giuliani

From awkward schoolgirl to Caterer to the Stars, Mary Giuliani weaves together a collection of hilarious memories, from professional growing pains to her long journey to motherhood, never losing her sense of humor and her love for everyone's favorite party food, pigs in a blanket.

Mary's utterly unremarkable childhood was everything she didn't want: hailing from a deeply loving yet overprotective Italian family in an all-Jewish enclave on Long Island. All she wanted was to fit in (be Jewish) and become famous (specifically a cast member on Saturday Night Live). With an easy, natural storytelling sensibility, Mary shares her journey from a cosseted childhood home to the stage and finally to the party, accidentally landing what she now refers to as "the breakthrough role of a lifetime" catering to a glittery list of stars she once hoped to be part of herself.

Fresh, personal, and full of Mary's humorous, self-deprecating, and can-do attitude against all odds, you'll want to see where each shiny silver tray of hors d'oeuvres takes her next. You never know when the humble hot dog will be a crucial ingredient in the recipe for success, in building a business or simply making life more delicious.

Mary makes me smile, laugh, cry happy tears, and she always leaves me hungry for more of her wisdom, her humor, and her stories.

How many culinary memoirs - heck, how many memoirs - frame their narrative through the lens of Steve Martin's The Jerk?

Real life. And hilarious!!!

I wasn’t sure what to expect with this book but was pleasantly surprised. It was hilarious and totally relatable. If you’re looking for a light hearted read[listen], this is something you’d enjoy. I also love that she shares her recipes with us as well!

Amazing from start to finish!

I loved everything about this book. Beautiful stories told by a beautiful soul. Would definitely recommend!

shares her genuine spirit, too celebrity obsessed

cute and fun in places, but nothing especially memorable. the author is very open and candid about her thoughts and feelings, her genuineness is endearing. but she is celebrity obsessed and too many stories are about some unnamed famous person she once met in passing or hopes to meet one day. she is interesting enough without diminshing her stories by thinking meeting celebrities makes her seem better.

Story of a white girl whining about everything.

Really wanted to like it, but I couldn't take the first three chapters. Talk about privilege...whining about not being Jewish, whining about the food on her trip to Italy, whining about having her dad push her to go to college, I couldn't listen anymore. This wasnt funny as much as sickening. I get she was just telling her story, but it wasnt for me.
