Synopses & Reviews

Review:

"If you're wild about food, and we are, you'll love this culinary adventure. Alan Ridenour takes us through history and around the world discovering delicious tidbits that surprise and tantalize." MarySue Milliken and Susan Feninger

Review:

"Al, who has honored my hometown with rampaging woodland creatures, murderous clowns, human barbeques, and Charles Mansons sculpted out of Swiss cheese, who brought plague victims to the Renaissance Faire and raw weenies to the Los Angeles Marathon, has done it again." Jonathan Gold, Gourmet Magazine

Review:

"Offbeat Food is a fun, informative, and very personal tribute to the history, comfort, and love we relate to food. The unique style sheds light on the historical, popular, and visceral slices of our most popular and least popular eating traditions." Piero Selvaggio, Chef and Owner of Valentino Restaurant
