BOOK SYNOPSIS
Dishwasher is Pete Jordan's amusing memoir of his itinerant dishwashing extravaganza. "For 12 years, I was the most prolific dishlicker of them all. From 1989 – 2001, I dished my way around the country, unwittingly searching for direction. From a bagel joint in New Mexico to a Mexican joint in Brooklyn; from a dinner train in Rhode Island to the Lawrence Welk Resort in Branson, MO; from an upper–crust ladies' club to a crusty hippie commune – I washed the nation's dishes," he explains.
Part adventure, part self–parody, and part self–discovery, it reveals how he transformed into "Dishwasher Pete" – the ultimate professional dish dog, unlikely folk hero, writer, and publisher of his own cult 'zine – and his struggles to find love, stability, and yes, the elusive happy–ever–after.
