Summary & Review:
Comedian Jim Gaffigan has gained fame through his often food related humor, and in this book he explores his lifelong love affair with food. Over the course of over three hundred pages, Gaffigan examines the regional food specialties across America, expresses his hatred of seafood, and cannily observes the unique food habits of Americans.
This was a very funny book. There were parts that were absolutely hilarious which had me “lol”-ing, as the kids say. But, it really didn’t need to be almost 350 pages. The first two thirds of the book were great—focused and funny. Then, it seemed to drag a bit and kind of become a grab bag of food topics that were only tangentially related. Despite that, it was a very entertaining book and I’ll probably read his other book at some point.
Rating: 7.0
