About this product

Product Information

The host of Travel Channel's most popular show explains how iconic American foods have captured our culinary imaginations--you won't look at a bagel the same way again! In America the Edible, Travel Channel host Adam Richman tackles the ins and outs of American cuisine, demonstrating his own unique brand of culinary anthropology. Believing that regional cuisine reveals far more than just our taste for chicken fried steak or 3-way chili, Richman explores the ethnic, economic, and cultural factors that shape the way we eat--and how food, in turn, reflects who we are as a nation. Richman uses his signature wit and casual charm to take youon a tour around the country,explaining such curiosities as why bagels are shaped like circles, why fried chicken is so popular in the South, and how some of the most iconic American food--hot dogs, fries, and soda--are not really American at all. Writing with passion, curiosity, and a desire to share his knowledge, he includes recipes, secret addresses for fun and tasty finds, and tips on how to eat like a local from coast to coast. Part travelogue, part fun fact book, part serious culinary journalism, Richman's America the Edible illuminates the food map in a way nobody has before.

Reviews
"Richman's genuine, contagious enthusiasm for food keeps America the Edible enjoyable. His descriptions of favorite dishes are tantalizing, detailed, and accessible. He's more prone to visiting a standout hot-dog joint than an haute-cuisine spot, making the book useful for travelers, with even more utility provided by sidebars on how to tell an authentic eatery from a tourist trap." -- The Onion's AV Club

    Must have for foodies and Adam lovers!

    For foodie and Adam Richman lovers!! Great book to get to know Adam's food journey, a little history of food and areas he ate and his eclectic, passionate and fiery sense of humor! So, if you like original food, enjoy straying off the beaten path to find and enjoy Adam, you will relish on every page!
