From the ten-time James Beard Award winner and "GQ's" food critic comes a witty, globe-trotting smorgasbord of culinary escapades.
In this globe-trotting literary smorgasbord, the 11-time winner of the James Beard Foundation Award for food writing retraces his most savory culinary adventures. Alan Richman’s inexhaustible hunger and unquenchable curiosity have taken him to the best restaurants and most irresistible meals, from Monte Carlo to Corona, Queens. Along the way he studied at Paul Bocuse’s cooking school in Lyon (and failed), moonlighted as a sommelier in New York (and failed) and charmed his way through a candlelight dinner with actress Sharon Stone (and failed big time). Through it all—roughly 50,000 meals and counting—one thing is certain: Richman has never come to a fork in the road without a fork in his hand.

-- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
More than an extraordinary food writer, Richman is an extraordinary writer, period...reflexively entertaining. -- Food & Wine
