“Hilarious and, if you're of a similarly obsessive ilk, pretty
useful.”
*Newsday (New York)*
“A humorous, witty narrative delivered in the form of a
pseudo-textbook. . . . A perfect delivery system for Pashman’s
comedic take on gustatory pleasure. . . . A good-natured, clever
and informative romp through the modern culinary landscape.”
*Kirkus Reviews*
“Dan Pashman is one of the great eaters. Eating is his passion.
Eating is his life. This book is a celebration of putting food in
your mouth.”
*Marc Maron, author of Attempting Normal and host of WTF*
“For noncooks who like food but hate the preciousness that comes
with the whole foodie subculture…[Eat More Better] will allow its
readers to survive his or her salad days.”
*The Boston Globe*
“Here’s a collection of unexpected, giggle-making meditations on
food served with a ‘spork.’ I looked it up. It isn’t in the
dictionary yet, but a ‘spork’ is a combination spoon, fork and
knife. Yes, K’s in knives are usually silent, but in Dan’s world,
as in ketchup, kimchi, and Kit Kats, K’s are never bashful.”
*Radiolab's Robert Krulwich*
“To top pumpkin pie or not to top pumpkin pie; the optimal
coffee-dunking speed of a yeast donut; [the] eternal struggle about
bite consistency versus bite variety: these are important questions
to anyone who eats. . . . It’s all about being the best, most
pleasure-extracting eater you can be.”
