In an excerpt from the book, Julia satirically described the moment she suffered a diva meltdown in 2016 at a trendy Byron Bay café.
‘The waitress said, “Sorry, the chef won’t do fried eggs.” My expertly Botoxed brow lifted just a smidge. I wondered if maybe she hadn’t recognised me,’ she recounted in the excerpt published by News Corp earlier this month.
‘I patted her hand and said, “Tell him it’s me. I’m sure he’ll fry up a couple of sunny sides,”‘ she continued.

The waitress informed Julia that the chef simply ‘didn’t emotionally connect’ with the concept of serving fried eggs on toast.
‘I had been named Time Out London’s Comedy Performer of the Year, and won awards at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe as well as Australia’s Helpmann Award for Best Comedy Performer, but I couldn’t order eggs on toast?’ she wrote.
She added: ‘I could have set the restaurant alight.’

Enraged, Julia decided to ‘break the system’ by ordering two $25 burgers, as they each contained a single fried egg.
When her expensive breakfast arrived, Julia dramatically removed the fried eggs from both burgers in front of the waitress.
She said she put on the embarrassing display just to prove a point to the restaurant.

Julia has previously described her new tome as a satirical take on the genre of celebrity ‘self-help books’.
‘Most celebrities in the self-help genre are pretty deluded, and I just thought, you know what, no one’s more deluded than me,’ she joked to Mamamia.
‘I had to get involved. I mean, surely there’s some cash out there in the self-help area for me,’ she laughed.
