Exclusive Interview: Josie Adams Reveals Untold Secrets Behind We Thought They’d Never Leave with Tony Shalhoub
The narrative is touching and profound as well as funny and unconventional. In addition to the twenty favorite Shalhoub family recipes found at the end, I was treated to laugh-out-loud scenes of kitchen chaos, lists of pet peeves, and rules for boredom-busting games.

One of ten children born to Lebanese immigrants, Tony and his siblings have prioritized their annual summer family gathering for five decades.
