Are You Really Going to Eat That? by Robb Walsh

Are You Really Going to Eat That? by Robb Walsh

From the top of the Blue Mountains of Jamaica for the perfect cup of coffee to the jungles of Thailand for an encounter with the abominably smelly stinkfruit, Robb Wals has traveled the globe, immersing himself in some of the world's most interesting culinary phenomena. In Are You Really Going to Eat That? Walsh offers a collection of his best essays over the past ten years, along with some of his favorite recipes.

For Walsh, food is a window on culture, and his essays brim with insights into our society and those around us. Whether he's discussing halal organic farming with Muslims, traversing the steep hills of Trinidad in search of hot-sauce makers, or savoring the disappearing art of black Southern cooking with a inmate-chef in a Texas penitentiary, Walsh has a unique talent for taking our understanding of food to a deeper level.

Legends of Texas Barbecue Cookbook, A Cowboy in the Kitchen, and Nuevo Tex-Mex are all written by Robb Walsh. He's also the Houston Press' restaurant critic, a regular contributor to NPR's Weekend Edition, and a former food columnist for Natural History. He has been nominated for six James Beard awards and has won two of them, including last year's Legends of Texas Barbecue.
