review 1: Wrote this once and it disappeared -- trying again. I especially liked the comments on wine and the current trend of 2010 -- brining. I enjoyed the wine reflection which takes a bit to task those who pay $$$ for wine (per some wine guide) and delight in that alone versus the columnist who believes the great finds are actually those which are more obscure (and less costly). Fun to read each chapter, how one guy followed a chef around the country. If you like food -- and reading about it -- this is your book.
review 2: Many of these essays were too short and, unsurprisingly in this charcuterie-crazed era, many dealt with meat. But it's a neat anthology with diverse content. I read it slowly (obviously). Some of my favorites were "The Doughnut Gatherer," by a f... moreood critic whose 3-year-old has a severe form of acid reflux that leaves him with no appetite--she celebrates when he starts eating gas station doughnuts--"Will Work Nights," a funny riff on restaurant kitchen mayhem, and "World's Best Sommelier vs. World's Worst Customer" by former NYT critic Frank Bruni.[I think Goodreads hates French, because the auto-spell check has underlined charcuterie and sommelier. Actually, it underlines the word Goodreads too.] less
