The evening event, hosted by Left Bank Books, features a conversation between Lee and Catherine Neville, Executive Vice President of Community Engagement at Explore St. Louis. The memoir chronicles Lee’s transformation from a high school dropout into the founder of a national Italian food brand and the owner of four KATIE'S Pizza & Pasta locations. Kris Kleindienst, owner of Left Bank Books, described the work as a blend of culinary grit and personal honesty, noting that the narrative captures the specific cultural landscape of St. Louis with vivid detail. Following the discussion at 6 p.m., Lee will sign and personalize copies for attendees. Admission is free, though organizers require an advance RSVP. For those unable to attend the session at 1 Mark Twain Circle, the bookstore is offering signed copies through its website.
Katie Lee Returns to Clayton High to Debut Memoir
At 15, Katie Lee walked away from Clayton High School, leaving behind a conventional path to forge her own. On October 8, the St. Louis restaurateur returns to those same halls, not as a student, but to launch her debut memoir, Unemployable: The Katie Lee Story.
