Feasting on Asphalt

Nice travel book of greasy spoons. I'm more than a little disappointed that he didn't stop more places in Minnesota or Wisconsin.

This is a fun, light read. It has a clear storyline, which makes it nice to read cover to cover, but integrates recipes into that. Normally I don't read cookbooks all the way through, I jump around and pick things up a little at a time, and honestly there are some recipes in even the most interesting cookbooks that I never really look at, and the format of this got me to at least skim all of them. While I won't be making koolickles any time soon, I appreciate that Alton Brown at least got me to learn what they are.
