After reading Kelsey Grammer's "Fraiser" cookbook, "Tossed Salad & Scrambled Eggs," I was skeptical about another cookbook by a Hollywood superstar. But as a party dad this book ripped my breasts off. The recipes made my mouth hot and wet. The bold intro by Guy Fieri (the baddest boy thats ever lived) made me feel like i was ..."Walkin' on the Sun." ;)
The cons:
A) The Sammy Hagar Chapter. The whole things about aliens! Wha?
B) Listen man me want to hear about your recipe for the cabo wabo chicken not the anal probes.
3) The ingredients are hard to find.
Hey now. You're cooking. Like an ALL STAR!

You might think that combining rock and cooking seems somewhat illogical but you would be wrong. All I had to see was that that super chill bro Guy Fieri was involved and this contraption was off and running for me. This book is filled with recipes to serve up to your bros while crushing cold cans and scoping hot babes on the weekend. Whether you're a Bronie, a Juggalo, or a Furrie, you should be able to find something to suit your taste in here. I deducted two stars for the Sammy Hagar section. I have no idea what's going on with dude. Your life can't only be filled with power of rock eventually you have to eat. Why not eat like like an allstar!

Every so often a book lands on your desk that looks intriguingly strange, is something that you cannot immediately identify, might be possibly something that you could be sceptical towards from a cursory glance and yet within seconds of opening it you are enchanted and enthralled. This is one of these books.
Perhaps it helps that this reviewer has never heard of "Smash Mouth" who, thanks to an Internet search, one understands is an American rock band from San Jose, California that has been performing since 1994. This review thus can be totally cold, objective and devoid of even any invisible "fan love". This reviewer comes to the party totally without prior knowledge or expectation.
So what are you getting? What has made this reviewer so keen and eager? This is a massive telephone book-sized collection of recipes that caught the band's eye in eateries on their various travels across the United States. No specific rhyme or reason, no focus on a specific type of cuisine. Just recipes from all over the place, ordered by state and backed up by an index at the end should you wish to dive in by ingredient or food type. There is also an index of song names too, for those who are real fans of the band but this review solely focusses on the food side of things.
The recipes are wonderfully varied. It is not just the typical "band food" you might have assumed, with just variations of pizza, wings or hamburgers. There are many little unexpected gems, such as Lobster Sandwiches, Bleu Cheese Biscuit and Cucumber Jalapeño Margarita. Each recipe is clearly laid out, well written and some engaging photographs of either the dish, the band or both follow. Unfortunately the measures are only in imperial units and there are no estimations of preparation and cooking times, so our standard little rant is applicable here.
The main thing this reviewer liked about this book was its sheer unpredictability. Each recipe is different, unrelated and a nice surprise. Other recipe books can be fine and dandy but when you have a big section of, let's say soups, you know you will get soup. Unless you start at the end of this book and read the index, you don't really know what you will be seeing next until you turn the page. This reviewer ignored the non-food information but it didn't feel like it was getting in the way. The recipes more than speak for themselves.
This is one of those books that this reviewer feels confident in saying if you have a little spare money and enjoy cooking, take a gamble on this book. It might not be a book you would have otherwise picked up off the bookshelf, yet it could be one of those great little unconventional finds. If you are a particular fan of the band, you will buy this anyway. Perhaps a promo CD of the band should have been enclosed with the book as a taster for the uninitiated...
