Description:
A New York Times Best Book of the Year
"A soup-to-nuts-to-brunch-to-all-night-diner portrait of the inextricable link between queerness and food that's...[a] delicious celebration." ?New York Times Book Review
A celebrated culinary writer's expansive, audacious excavation of the roots of modern queer identity and food culture.
Brief description: John Birdsall is the author of The Man Who Ate Too Much: The Life of James Beard and is the recipient of two James Beard Awards for food and culture writing. He lives in Tucson, Arizona.
Review Quotes: An important decree of queer visibility in food history, excavating and restoring a narrative long buried and obstructed. What Is Queer Food? is also wildly entertaining. John Birdsall continues to establish himself as one of my most anticipated writers.--Lisa Donovan, author of Our Lady of Perpetual Hunger
