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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Giuliani has chutzpah to spare in these life-filled, rib-sticking (and-tickling) stories."—Booklist

"Giuliani (The Cocktail Party) hilariously recounts her evolution from a girl with 'one eyebrow' in a Long Island household that 'couldn't be more Italian if we tried' into a successful caterer to the stars who appears on television with Rachael Ray and Ina Garten.... Giuliani's entertaining memoir is packed with satisfying stories and recipes that readers will guiltily enjoy."—Publishers Weekly

"What makes 'Tiny Hot Dogs' a fun read is her down-to-earth, pinch-me mindset as she brushes shoulders with the rich and famous while feeding them her beloved pigs in a blanket, aka Tiny Hot Dogs."—The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

A fun & hilarious read, especially for foodies

I really enjoyed listening to Tiny Hot Dogs! Not only was it a fun and hilarious book, but it also included some motivating and inspiring moments to dream big. Reach for your dreams, regardless of the party poopers. Loved this book!

I really enjoyed this delicious book! How do I find the PDFs for the included recipes on my audible version?

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!

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.
