  Whether you call them franks, wieners, or red hots, hot dogs are as American as apple pie, but how did these little links become icons of American culture? Man Bites Dog explores the transformation of hot dogs from unassuming street fare to paradigms of regional expression, social mobility, and democracy. World-renowned hot dog scholar Bruce Kraig investigates the history, people, décor, and venues that make up hot dog culture and what it says about our country.  These humble sausages cross ethnic and regional boundaries and have provided the means for plucky entrepreneurs to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Hot dogs, and the ways we enjoy them, are part of the American dream. Man Bites Dog celebrates the power of the hot dog through a historical survey and profiles of notable hot dog purveyors. Loaded with stunning color photos by Patty Carroll, descriptions of neighborhood venues and flashy pushcarts from New York to Los Angeles, and recipes for cooking up hot dog heaven at home, this book is the u

  A rollicking history of alcohol and its literary imbibers, from Jane Austen’s beer brewing to James Joyce’s passion for Guinness to E.B. White’s cure for writers’ block—a dry martini—by celebrated illustrator Greg Clarke and award-winning editor/art director Monte Beauchamp. 
  ""Civilization begins with distillation.""—William Faulkner 
  ""Bourbon does for me what the piece of cake did for Proust.""—Walker Percy 
  ""God has a brown voice, full and soft as beer.""—Anne Sexton 
  Throughout history, there has been no greater catalyst for creativity among writers—so they claim—than a good, stiff drink. From Aristophanes’ attraction to wine, to Dostoevsky’s breakfast of grain vodka and brown bread, to Joan Didion’s fondness for gin, stories abound of how booze has fueled and inspired our literary icons. 
  In this volume, cartoonist Greg Clarke and comics anthologist Monte Beauchamp take us on an unforgettable literary bar crawl. A Sidecar Named Desire is packed with historical factoids, anecdotes, booze trivia, and fascinating detours into the lives of our most storied literary personalities—along with literary-themed cocktail recipes such as Ernest Hemingway’s Death in the Afternoon and Philip Larkin’s Gin and Tonic set to verse. 
  For the literary-minded drinker—whether wine, gin, vodka, beer, whiskey, or tequila is your elixir of choice—A Sidecar Named Desire will whet your appetite. Bottoms up!

  Recipes for seasonally inspired, Neapolitan-style pizza from 'THE WORLD'S BEST PIZZA MAKER'.
  
  BREAKING NEWS! 'Forget Naples. The world's best pizza is made in Chiswick.' – The Times
  
  'Worlds' best pizza chef is based in London, according to the "Michelin Guide for Italian Food"' – Daily Mail
  
  Michele Pascarella, founder of 'Napoli on the Road', was named the best pizza maker on the planet at the Ferrarelle World 50 Top Pizza Europa Awards 2023 and Best Pizzeria in Europe in May 2024.
  
  Michele is a 'pioneer of contemporary pizza making' and his win is a testament to how he pushes the boundaries of pizza-making innovation: 'It's not just about crafting the perfect dough or finding the finest ingredients; it's about the artistry and passion that goes into every slice…' so says the pizza visionary.
  
  Originally from Naples, Michele started his business driving around in a three-wheel Ape Piaggio truck complete with a wood-fired oven, making pizzas at markets across London. Now, 8 years later, at his two hugely popular restaurants Michele changes his menu almost entirely every three months, to make use of seasonal ingredients, respect the course of nature and work with local suppliers.
  
  The book offers 65 delicious recipes for pizza, organised by season, as well as Neapolitan-style street food and he shares stories of his early life growing up in Southern Italy – the people, landscapes and experiences that shaped his creative genius and made him into the stand-out pizzaiola he is today.
