Synopsis John T. Edge expands his foodie sagas beyond FRIED CHICKEN (his first) and APPLE PIE (his second) to explore the greasy world of burgers and fries. Edge is both an enthusiast and a scholar, canvassing the country in search of burgers in their many guises, including beanburgers (in Texas), soyburgers (in Tennessee), and steamed burgers (in Connecticut). He also includes some history, 15 recipes, and a highly selective list of places where good burgers can be found.

Industry Reviews "To be in the company of a mind this curious is a pleasure....When I say that I wished this very short book had been longer, I speak as a satisfied customer anxiously eyeing seconds." New York Times Book Review - Henry Alford (08/21/2005)
