Levine is a frequent New York Times contributor and the founder of the Serious Eats website, which has won two James Beard Awards. This companion book to the website includes 50 recipes (for standards such as Biscuits and Gravy, the Best Grilled Cheese, and Kansas City BBQ Ribs), but it is also a food lover's travel guide not to be missed. Travelers will relish the lists of the best places to find breakfast pastries, pizza, street food, sweets, farm-to-table chefs, and farmers' markets, and foodies are sure to discover gems in their region as well as destinations for their next vacation. Explanations of types of burgers (e.g., pub, steakhouse, and sliders) and pizza (e.g., New York-style, grilled, and deep-dish) are also valuable. Resources include a state-by-state directory; California, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New York, and Oregon are well represented.
VERDICT A wonderful guide to eateries throughout the country. Definitely one to consult before your next trip!
