He’s written a memoir, <a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Im-Not-Trying-Difficult-Restaurant/dp/1538765578\"><em>I’m Not Trying to Be Difficult: Stories from the Restaurant Trenches</em></a>, and it’s one of Matt's favorite restaurant books in recent years. In our conversation, we cover a lot of ground: opening in Tribeca in the early ’80s, collaborating with Robert De Niro on multiple restaurants, and why Keith McNally isn’t the only New York City restaurant man with a good story to tell. </p>\n<p><em><strong>Subscribe to This Is TASTE</strong></em><em>:</em><em><strong> </strong></em><a href=\"https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-taste-podcast/id1393739959?mt=2\">⁠⁠<em>Apple Podcasts</em>⁠⁠</a><em>, </em><a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/show/3LsLXfnYt6Ugml415hyUfh?si=MRMn32W-S5i9HktfZ_eBIg\">⁠⁠<em>Spotify</em>⁠⁠</a><em>, </em><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/@ThisIsTASTE\">⁠⁠<em>YouTube</em>⁠⁠</a><em> </em></p><p> </p>","author_name":"Matt Rodbard & Aliza Abarbanel"}
