"Alton writes just like he talks on his show, and I love watching him. The writing is great and I enjoyed his travel journal entries included in this book. There are only a few places that are pretty much on my regular path when I'm in the South, so visting the others has to be a specially planned trip. I was only interested in a few of the recipes, but I still enjoyed the book, again because of Alton's writing."
"If you enjoyed the show and wanted some of the recipes, check out the book from the library, read it over, and then decide if you want a copy. Alton writes in a cool, humorous style, and there are a TON of pictures. Not sure if I'd ever make any of the recipes for just two people, tho. Being the geek that he is, he included GSP coodinates to everywhere they stopped."
"If you watch Food Channel (FC) a lot, you know who Alton Brown is. He has a quirky little show. This book is a little treasure, as far as I'm concerned. The opening foldout map shows the nature of his mini-Odyssey along the Mississippi River, sampling diners and restaurants as he (and his crew) cycle from the Delta to Lake Itasca. I'm an Illinois farm boy, so it was cool to see some of the towns from my home state on his map--Cairo, Alton, Quincy, Nauvoo, and Moline. And other places familiar to me from the Iowa side--Burlington, Muscatine, Clinton, Dubuque.
Some examples of eateries and recipes:
New Orleans, Louisiana: Crawfish Bowl at Big Fisherman Seafood
Greenville, Mississippi: Breakfast ribs at Jim's Cafe
Memphis, Tennessee: Memphis-style turkey legs at Melanie's Soul Food
Illinois and Iowa: Loose meat sandwich (Maid-Rite--In my home town, we had a Maid-Rite while I was in high school--Yummy!). Ground beef, onion, prepared mustard, water, Worcestershire Sauce, kosher salt). Despite my cholesterol level, I'm tempted to try this!
Crosby, Minnesota: Parsley Bread from The (very quirky) Nordic Inn.
There is a final description of Lake Itasca, where the Mississippi River begins.
As one might expect from watching Brown's show, this is an idiosyncratic work. But it is a lot of fun and there are some neat recipes in here. But the Odyssey may be even more interesting than the recipes. Good eats? Good reading!"
