American food : a not-so-serious history / Rachel Wharton ; with illustrations by Kimberly Ellen Hall.
"A captivating and surprising tour of American food in all its variety, charm, and occasionally dubious lore. What can Buffalo wings, submarines and hoagies and heros, fortune cookie factories, yellow mustard, green chiles, and shrimp and grits reveal about Americans? Rachel Wharton and Kimberly Ellen Hall tell the compelling stories behind some of our most iconic foods and what they say about who we are - and who, perhaps, we are becoming"-- Back cover.
