BLACK, WHITE, AND THE GREY The Story of an Unexpected Friendship and a Beloved Restaurant

Mashama Bailey and John O. Morisano smoothly alternate delivering the chapters of their memoir, which is part reminiscence of their friendship and part the story of the restaurant business they built together. Bailey's warm, sincere tone holds listeners close as she details her experiences as a Black female chef. Morisano, who is white, has a humorous take on getting to know Bailey. Listeners who are foodies will especially appreciate this lively chronicle of a successful restaurant in the Deep South, The Grey, in Savannah (formerly a Greyhound bus station). The anecdotes are funny and sweet. The pair handle their narration as they do their experiences--with talent and grace. M.R. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2021]
