Editorial Reviews:
Review:

"Fun, illuminating, and provocative....Kurlansky selected zesty writings, factual and imaginative, describing barbecues, fries, and feasts....The [entries] are vivid and playful dispatches from pre-interstate, pre-fast-food America, when food was local and cuisine regional."

Donna Seaman, Booklist, 03/15/2009

Review:

"[T]his extraordinary collection...provides a vivid and revitalizing sense of the rural and regional characteristics and distinctions that we've lost and can find here again."

Publishers Weekly, 03/16/2009
