Another entertaining audio book, read by the author himself. I recently reviewed Gaffigan's other book, Dad is Fat , which I also listened to in audio, and I found this one to be much funnier. This is probably because, as he points out himself, a fat man writing about food is just good.
Basically, this is just Gaffigan paying homage to all sorts of food, what he likes, what he doesn't, what he will eat even if it ends up killing him.
The food-related portion of his standup is by far his funniest material, so this book is just like an extended standup routine. It doesn't deliver quite as well as watching him, as his facial expressions are part of his humor, but it is still a quick and hilarious read/listen.
There is also a section where he highlights major cities he's toured and the great foods they're known for. Sadly, when he mentions St. Louis, toasted ravioli is the highlight, and I think St. Louis has much better to offer than that.
Any fans of humor or Gaffigan will enjoy this, and the audio is definitely worth the listen.
