Alton Brown
Feasting on Asphalt
$27.50

 Feasting on Asphalt: The River Run follows Alton Brown and his motorcycle-mounted crew on a three-thousand mile south-to-north journey that follows America’s first "superhighway"—the Mississippi — starting at the great river's delta on the Gulf of Mexico and ending up near its headwaters in Minnesota. Brown and his team scout the heartland's byways to find the very best roadside food, and they get to know the people who spend their lives preparing and serving it.

Brown's journeys included big-city eateries and small-town diners, as well as markets, inns, ice-cream parlors, museums, barbecue-joints, and even an alligator farm. With over forty recipes (many of which are old family secrets) this volume offers such roadside treats as Louisiana-style Grilled Alligator Tail, Pecan-Coconut Pie, Vegetable Borscht, Fried Catfish and BBQ Pork Ribs that Brown eats over pancakes. When it comes to America’s food-ways and folk-ways, there’s no better tour guide than Alton Brown.
