PositiveThe New York Times Book ReviewTandoh wades through the chaotic food world of the 2020s armed with delightful snark and historical analysis in equal measure. A romp, in short ... Tandoh is a trenchant, if sometimes bemused, guide ... Although this book has no discernible theme or organizing principle ...Tandoh’s writing is so engaging you don’t mind a bit ... Still, in some chapters, indignation bests rigor ... Tandoh is not prone to the simple take.

PositiveThe New York Times Book ReviewAs much a fascinating study of heirloom cider apples and Buckeye chickens as it is a commentary on the way politics, money and convenience have conspired against America’s culinary history ... This isn’t a book to pick up for its lyrical narrative. (One can wade through only so many descriptions of rental car trips and bad weather.) Still, the deep cultural and political history Lohman unearths is worth the ride.
