About the Book

“Ian Jackman had the fool-hearty courage to set out armed with the two most dangerous tools for traveling in America, an inquiring mind and a hungry stomach. He lived to tell the tale with wit and charm.” — Mark Kurlansky, bestselling author of The Big Oyster and Cod

Ian Jackman believes that life is too short to deny yourself our nation's true culinary treasures. Guided by food experts throughout the land, he travels from east to west—from small town to big city—uncovering local treats, guilty pleasures, and some oddities that no true food lover should miss. From lobster rolls and buffalo meat to banana cream pies and clam stuffies, Jackman finds the sinful temptations your taste buds crave—and he writes about them in a way that's certain to get any confirmed foodie salivating!

Where you can find the very best burgers in America
21 varieties of apples you must try
Lamb fries—eat or avoid?
The country's primo pizza parlors
And more!

Escape the guilt and anxiety propagated by our puritanical, diet-obsessed society and indulge yourself with Eat This!
