AudioFile Magazine
Cherry-picked for readability from three books--American Fried; Alice, Let's Eat; and Third Helpings--these 17 wickedly funny essays are read by the writer, a narrator who delivers straight lines so well that a stone would giggle. From dangerous bagels to double-boiled deer penis, he's searched the world for anything authentically pleasing to the palate. A New Yorker writer, who remembers Columbus chiefly as "the Genoan who taught Ferdinand and Isabella how to twirl spaghetti around their forks," Trillin takes his work seriously. In Buffalo, he tells us, chicken wings are always offered mild, medium, and hot. "I sampled mild. I sampled medium. I sampled hot. It turned out that there is no sort of chicken wing I don't like."

writer Trillin, known for his slow-burn, deadpan humor, reads a selection of 17 pieces from his previously published essay collections American Fried, Third Helpings
and Alice, Let's Eat
. Helpful introductory comments include, "I'm here to tell you that compared to a monkfish, the average catfish looks like Robert Redford." More broadly, the message for restaurateurs is to avoid the pretensions of establishments referred to collectively as La-Maison-de-la-Casa-House and to embrace the authentic merits of the Buffalo chicken wing, the Chinatown noodle and the New York City bagel. The message for the rest of us is to eat without shame or remorse, to approach every meal (even the dreadful scrambled eggs Trillin mentions he was once in the habit of making for his daughters) with the same welcoming smile that this deft writer and performer leaves on everyone who listens to him. Based on the FSG hardcover.
