Synopsis
In the 1970s, Calvin Trillin informed us that the most glorious food in an American city was not to be found at the pretentious rooftop restaurant he called La Maison de la Casa House, Continental Cuisine. With three hilarious books, he established himself as "our funniest food writer" and, in Craig Claiborne's phrase, "the Walt Whitman of American eats." Now the three books have been combined in what Trillin calls "The Tummy Trilogy."

Review
"Trillin is our funniest food writer. He writes with charm, freedom, and a rare respect for language." --Seymour Britchkey, New Yorker
"As Proust took the simple madeleine and with genius made it a glory of a book, so Trillin takes the hamburger, takes the chili dog, takes the pizza, and does as much, or more." --Henry Mitchell, The Washington Post Book World
"Marvelously funny and horrifyingly mouth-watering." --Rolling Stone
