This book is an eye-opening, mouth-watering adventure. I applaud David Kamp for writing this book; its a journey of food that everyone should hear. From coast to coast, it was fascinating reading about the evolution of the American food scene that, at times, parallels other cultural transitions in this country as we strive to form our own perfect union. And David's arousing and humorous language had me page-turning to the very end. You will have so much more appreciation for what you eat after you read this book.
