From the Publisher
Finally, the french fry is given the royal treatment it deserves--an appreciation of the fry, a consideration of its merits and history, and a celebration of its virtues and contributions to our culinary culture. This book is an unabashed devotion to the food the average American eats several times a week.
THE FRENCH FRY COMPANION explores the french fry mystique, the secrets of the fry masters, the influence of the fry in entertainment, politics, and pop culture, and visits favorite local best-fry restaurants.
In a colorful, funny, and evocative style, humor columnist and media personality David Graulich chronicles the french fry through the days of early potato cultivation in Peru, the middle ages in Europe, the immigrant experience in America, the emergence of the industrialized fry, the development of the service-sector economy, the response of the food industry to french fry popularity, and finally, the fry's role in franchising--a uniquely American form of wealth creation and entrepreneurship.
Filled with fun facts, mouth-watering photographs and cooking advice, this is the story of the ubiquitous french fry, the food we all love to eat.
