Serious Eater

Ed Levine narrates with the passion of personal experience. The food writer, impresario, and founder of Serious Eats--a major web presence in all things culinary--tells the story of his trials and tribulations in getting his popular site funded. It's part autobiography (his parents died when he was young), part memoir (he's had more than a hundred jobs), and part cautionary tale (for those interested in monetizing blogging or website success). Levine, who famously ate a thousand slices of pizza for a book on the subject, is at his best when talking about his tribe of quirky and talented foodies who worked with him creating Serious Eats. But his lengthy dissertation on the ardors of fundraising becomes tedious. A.D.M. � AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
