Stick-to-your-ribs Writing
The Best Food Writing series is wonderful not only for the great writing, but also as a snapshot of the food-writing zeitgeist, and this year's collection is no exception. Five stars may be a little generous -- this collection doesn't particularly stand out from the others -- but I read it end-to-end nonstop and then was sorry it was over, and that always counts for...

Meh. Hit-or-Miss. Mostly miss.
Some of these stories are great and the rest are so-so. I have a few books in this genre and this is the only one I don't ever go back to reread.

The Best Food Writing series is wonderful not only for the great writing, but also as a snapshot of the food-writing zeitgeist, and this year's collection is no exception. Five stars may be a little generous -- this collection doesn't particularly stand out from the others -- but I read it end-to-end nonstop and then was sorry it was over, and that always counts for something. Best Food Writing 2008 also does a good job of balancing online writing with longer print-based pieces. The last section, "Personal Tastes," was my favorite, particularly "Roadtrip to Chinatown" by Eve M. Tai and Dorothy Allison's "Panacea."

This review is from: Best Food Writing 2008 (Paperback)
A wonderful series that I look forward to every year. The articles, some good, some less so, make you hungry for something good to eat.
