Good Reads About Good Eats

This is a great book for fans of Alton Brown, wherever and however one first came to know about him. Thoughtful, clever and funny with a balance of sober reflection, the stories in this book give interesting insight into the shows AB has hosted/produced/featured in and lets us come to know a bit more about the man without feeling like a heavy memoir nor a surface level glossing over of his life.
