βWhat are my qualifications to write this book? None really. So why should you read it? Hereβs why: Iβm a little fat. If a thin guy were to write about a love of food and eating Iβd highly recommend that you do not read his book.β Bacon. McDonalds. Cinnabon. Hot Pockets. Kale. Stand-up comedian and author Jim Gaffigan has made his career rhapsodizing over the most treasured dishes of the American diet (βchoking on bacon is like getting murdered by your loverβ) and decrying the worst offenders (βkale is the early morning of foodsβ). Fans flocked to his New York Times bestselling book Dad is Fat to hear him riff on fatherhood but now, in his second book, he will give them what they really craveβhundreds of pages of his thoughts on all things culinary(ish). Insights such as: why he believes coconut water was invented to get people to stop drinking coconut water, why pretzel bread is #3 on his most important inventions of humankind (behind the wheel and the computer), and the answer to the age-old question βwhich animal is more delicious: the pig, the cow, or the bacon cheeseburger?β
