If you take a six hundred-dollar bottle of scotch, and drink it all in three hours, you're going to throw up the same as a ten-dollar jug of hooch. Food and Trembling is the gourmet's equalizer, a collection of writing about the world's finest culinary pleasures from Jonah Campbell; metalhead, misanthrope, and unrepentant good-eater. Be it through the subtle perfection of a BLT, or the etymology of the croissant, Food and Trembling approaches eating not with a four-figure expense account, but a rare insight and a fierce appetite for the pleasures of the table.
