{"product_id":"feeding-a-yen-calvin-trillin-9780375759963","title":"Feeding a Yen: Savoring Local Specialties, from Kansas City to Cuzco","description":"Calvin Trillin has never been a champion of the \"continental cuisine\" palaces he used to refer to as La Maison de la Casa House. What he treasures is the superb local specialty. And he will go anywhere to find one. As it happens, some of his favorite dishes can be found only in their place of origin. Join Trillin on his charming, funny culinary adventures as he samples fried marlin in Barbados and the barbecue of his boyhood in Kansas City. Travel alongside as he hunts for the authentic fish taco, and participates in a \"boudin blitzkrieg\" in the part of Louisiana where people are accustomed to buying these spicy sausages and polishing them off in the parking lot. (\"Cajun boudin not only doesn't get outside the state, it usually doesn't even get home.\") In New York, Trillin even tries to use a glorious local specialty, the bagel, to lure his daughters back from California. \u003cb\u003eFeeding a Yen\u003c\/b\u003e is a delightful reminder of why \u003ci\u003eNew York\u003c\/i\u003e magazine called Calvin Trillin \"our funniest food writer.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Calvin Trillin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0375759964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375759963\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Random House Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/11\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.20w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/16\/2004 pg. 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2005 pg. 125","brand":"Calvin Trillin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43919618801919,"sku":"9780375759963","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_59be94a9-6276-4e8b-b418-36990987a66d.jpg?v=1680810394","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/feeding-a-yen-calvin-trillin-9780375759963","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
