Searching for the Dixie Barbecue or You Want Fries with That

Searching for the Dixie Barbecue: Journeys into the Southern Psyche

Author: Wilber W Caldwell

Searching for the Dixie Barbecue,with its thought-provoking text and many black and white photos, is a culinary and cultural saga. Here are glimpses of a fragment of society still tenaciously clinging to deep-rooted, primal instincts; to legends of the American frontier; and to the hand-me-down, rural traditions of the Deep South. This is a story about (among other things) regional pride, homespun cookery, backwoods lore, self-effacing "redneck" humor, shameless braggadocio, macho self-imagery, carnivorous bravado, porcine fundamentalism, boldfaced lies, and both culinary and social intransigence. This book will supply you with the elusive answers to three questions: "What is 'real' barbecue?" "How do you find it?" and "What does it mean to be Southern?"

You Want Fries with That?

Author: Ken Hoffman

Nothing is quite what you expect in the quirky world of Ken Hoffman. He's a nationally syndicated restaurant critic - but his specialty is drive-through burgers and fries. When he makes a grand tour of Europe, he does ten cities in ten days, no hotels. Instead, he sleeps on overnight trains and tosses his socks and underwear in the trash. And the sights he chooses to see? A memorable assortment of the bizarre, the outlandish, and the fattening.
