Book Reviews of Feasting on Asphalt: The River Run
Book Review: Nice companion book
Summary: 4 Stars
this is basically a nice companion book to Alton's second roadtrip. A little short on recipes--like all good cooks these folks jealously guard their secrets!. the series is an "A+", this book is more of a "B".Book Review: great fun
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is great fun for the foodie in your life...also the motorcyclist. Add that together and it makes a great gift.Book Review: More engaging on TV
Summary: 3 Stars
Unlike Michael Palin, where the books that are companions to his television travels are little treasures that stand on their own, Alto Brown's FEASTING ON ASPHALT: THE RIVER RUN is a bit of a disappointment. Brown, a witty and intelligent host, writes in a style that mirrors his narrative; folksy and smart with many interesting comments. The problem is that they don't really add detail to the already comprehensive series. Padded with photos by fellow "feaster," Jean Claude Dhlen, which while cute, are not exactly artfully composed and recipes that are often approximations of "secret family recipes," a concept I find ridiculous.(What are people afraid will happen to them if the world knew the truth about their doughnuts, fried chicken etc.) FEASTING ON ASPHALT: THE RIVER RUN is a cute scrapbook of the series, but if you're a fan just get the DVD's.
