The host of Travel Channel’s most popular show explains how
iconic American foods have captured our culinary
imaginations—you won't look at a bagel the same way again! In America the Edible, Travel Channel host Adam Richman
tackles the ins and outs of American cuisine, demonstrating
his own unique brand of culinary anthropology. Believing
that regional cuisine reveals far more than just our taste
for chicken fried steak or 3-way chili, Richman explores the
ethnic, economic, and cultural factors that shape the way we
eat—and how food, in turn, reflects who we are as a nation.
Richman uses his signature wit and casual charm to take
youon a tour around the country,explaining such curiosities
as why bagels are shaped like circles, why fried chicken is
so popular in the South, and how some of the most iconic
American food—hot dogs, fries, and soda—are not really
American at all. Writing with passion, curiosity, and a
desire to share his knowledge, he includes recipes, secret
addresses for fun and tasty finds, and tips on how to eat
like a local from coast to coast. Part travelogue, part fun fact book, part serious culinary
journalism, Richman’s America the Edible illuminates the
food map in a way nobody has before.
