"Trillin is our funniest food writer. He writes with charm, freedom, and a rare respect for language."
/> --New York magazine

In this delightful and delicious book, Calvin Trillin, guided by an insatiable appetite, embarks on a hilarious odyssey in search of "something decent to eat." Across time zones and cultures, and often with his wife, Alice, at his side, Trillin shares his triumphs in the art of culinary discovery, including Dungeness crabs in California, barbecued mutton in Kentucky, potato latkes in London, blaff d'oursins in Martinique, and a $33 picnic on a no-frills flight to Miami. His eating companions include Fats Goldberg, the New York pizza baron and reformed blimp; William Edgett Smith, the man with the Naughahyde palate; and his six-year-old daughter, Sarah, who refuses to enter a Chinese restaurant unless she is carrying a bagel ("just in case"). And though Alice "has a weird predilection for limiting our family to three meals a day," on the road she proves to be a serious eater--despite "seemingly uncontrollable attacks of moderation." Alice, Let Eat amply demonstrates why The New Republic called Calvin Trillin "a classic American humorist."

"One of the most brilliant humorists of our times . . . Trillin is guaranteed good reading."
--Charleston Post and Courier

"Read Trillin and laugh out loud."
--Time

Calvin Trillin has an ever-patient wife. In Alice, Let's Eat Mrs. Alice Trillin practically steals the show in every chapter she appears. She has great wit. As an example, I loved her "Law of Compensatory Cashflow." My husband has the same law: if you save a bunch of money by not buying something, you are free to use that savings on something equally as frivolous. At the time of writing, an in-flight meal cost $33. Trillin packs his own "flight picnic" so he can spend the "saved" money somewhere else, maybe on an oyster loaf. Much like American Fried, Alice, Let's Eat is a collection of humorous essays all about eating and finding the best food across the globe. ( )

Very funny at times, and always interesting to hear the adventures of the Trillins and their meals. ( )

Listed in various sources as an American humourist (although most such sources spell humourist in American!). This, along with other Trillin books, makes really good reading with food as the focus. An added poignancy is added as his title companion, his wife Alice, died in 2001 and is the subject of a later book, 'About Alice' - also recommended.

The first clue was this funny quip: "It all comes out on the honeymoon. " I soon realized I was reading something like "Julie and Julia", as much about marriage and love as it was about eating. Wonderful at many levels.
