He succeeded at all but the last: Steingarten is \"fairly sure that God meant the color blue mainly for food that has gone bad.\" In this impassioned, mouth-watering, and outrageously funny book, Steingarten devotes the same Zen-like discipline and gluttonous curiosity to practically everything that anyone anywhere has ever called \"dinner.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFollow Steingarten as he jets off to sample choucroute in Alsace, hand-massaged beef in Japan, and the mother of all ice creams in Sicily. Sweat with him as he tries to re-create the perfect sourdough, bottle his own mineral water, and drop excess poundage at a luxury spa. Join him as he mounts a heroic--and hilarious--defense of salt, sugar, and fat (though he has some nice things to say about Olestra). Stuffed with offbeat erudition and recipes so good they ought to be illegal, \u003cb\u003eThe Man Who Ate Everything\u003c\/b\u003e is a gift for anyone who loves food.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/27\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375702020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 5.20w x 0.88d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/20\/1998 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jeffrey Steingarten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36636685402268,"sku":"9780375702020","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_cef7f357-d5a1-4903-b3a8-599466bce4b6.jpg?v=1603842641","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-man-who-ate-everything-9780375702020","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
