About Abbe Diaz

Abbe Diaz, who spent several years as a maître d' at some of Manhattan's hottest restaurants, dished on their famous patrons ("from Affleck to Zellweger") and the dysfunction that comprises some of New York's most renowned eateries, in her 2004 restaurant-industry exposé: PX This – Diary of the "Maître d’ to the Stars." Now Diaz is back with PX Me - How I Became a Published Author, Got Micro-Famous, and Married a Millionaire, an equally insightful and hilarious follow-up that resumes her star-studded anecdotes, skewers media heavyweights, and takes us further behind the scenes with a uniquely deep insider's take on the illustrious multibillion-dollar celebrity-chef fine-dining world.

What do Jeremy Piven, Gawker, Jay McInerney, global über-chef Jean-Georges, Billy Joel (in St Barth), Graydon Carter, The New York Times, Puff Daddy’s birthday, stealing Leonardo DiCaprio’s luck, Sofia Vergara’s absence of rhythm, an exposé of NYC’s most renowned restaurants (aka the “bible of the industry”), and a stupefying lack of journalistic ethics all have in common? Read Abbe Diaz’s PX Me. (How I Became a Published Author, Got Micro-Famous, and Married a Millionaire).

[ ** UPDATE: A New York Times staffer at the center of the controversy depicted in PX Me, has engaged in cyber-harassment and death threats against author Abbe Diaz, for unveiling an alleged NY Times impropriety.
An Aggravated Harassment report has been filed with the Detective Squad of the New York Police Department. ** ]

What people are saying about “PX This”:

• “… [But] it turns out… Abbe Diaz has spent over a year shopping a treatment based on her own book… assuming the producers can find someone fierce enough to play the role of Diaz.” - New York Magazine

• “Writer and “former maitre d’ to the stars”, Abbe Diaz published four years' worth of diary entries to describe her entire grueling employment experience working in some of Manhattan’s top restaurants… [but] her old employers began requiring mandatory confidentiality agreements from staff… Too bad that didn't stop the thank you’s and fan-letters from coming though.” - BBC.com

• "… one of the funniest books I have read in a very long time… really draws back the curtain on some of the hottest restaurants ever!" - D.N., New York
