Douglas Keane has enjoyed tremendous success at his Cyrus restaurant in Geyserville, CA. At the same time, he's observed the need for change on many fronts in the hospitality industry, and instituted some of those changes himself. in his first book, Culinary Leverage: A Journey Through the Heat, he divides his attentions between relating his own story and offering thoughts for how to improve the industry he loves.
