A RECIPE FOR HILARITYA "door whore" in restaurant lingo, refers to the woman who greets you upon entering a dining establishment. However, Ivy Zingara is not just any bimbo smiling behind a podium; she is the brains and passion, the very heart and soul of Sentimento-a four star fine-dining restaurant.Ivy, the protagonist, possessing no prior restaurant knowledge, dives into creating a restaurant as a total novice and experiences numerous obstacles from misogynistic fire and building inspectors to vacuous employees. She hires a lunatic chef and an eccentric staff of dipsomaniacs, yet still manages to create an incredibly successful dining venue that the "glitterati" of New Jersey love to frequent.The Door Whore is a glimpse into the comedy, drama and everyday insanity that goes on behind the scenes in every restaurant on a daily basis.
