What a funny and wonderful audiobook from beginning to end. Loved listening to him talk about... of course ... food, and other things.

Went to a book signing today for the tagged book with my parents. I can‘t wait to read it! I‘ve been a fan of Alton Brown‘s for years and it was so fun to meet him. He was super nice!

Rare that I see my hometown mentioned (even obliquely) in a book! We‘re known for barbecuing mutton, and I think we have the best burgoo in the South. It‘s a type of hunter‘s stew that generally has 3 meats - a small mammal, a large mammal, and a bird. (A common combination is venison, pheasant, and squirrel (or rabbit).)
