“A humorous, witty narrative delivered in the form of a pseudo-textbook. . . . A perfect delivery system for Pashman’s comedic take on gustatory pleasure. . . . A good-natured, clever and informative romp through the modern culinary landscape.”
– Kirkus Reviews
“Dan Pashman is one of the great eaters. Eating is his passion. Eating is his life. This book is a celebration of putting food in your mouth.”

“Here’s a collection of unexpected, giggle-making meditations on food served with a ‘spork.’ I looked it up. It isn’t in the dictionary yet, but a ‘spork’ is a combination spoon, fork and knife.

“To top pumpkin pie or not to top pumpkin pie; the optimal coffee-dunking speed of a yeast donut; [the] eternal struggle about bite consistency versus bite variety: these are important questions to anyone who eats. . . . It’s all about being the best, most pleasure-extracting eater you can be.”
