Open to the Public or Bartending

Open to the Public

Author: Linda Putney

In her book Open to the Public, Linda Putney has given us a directory of over 200 worldwide training restaurants and hotels which are open to the public. Her listings include the names and addresses, telephone, fax number, days and hours of operation, type of cuisine, web sites, and other descriptive information supplied by the establishments. In addition, Ms. Putney has included some sample menus.
In her research, the author found that most of these restaurants and hotels are booked early, and reservations are therefore usually needed. This information is also supplied in each listing.
Although there are many fewer training hotels, Ms. Putney has unearthed them and included them in her book.
This book is written for the value-seeker and traveler who enjoys eating out at a good price.
