Synopsis

These true tales of celebrity hijinks combine Hollywood history, movie-star mayhem, and a frothy mix of forty cocktail recipes. 
 
From the frontier days of silent film to the wild auteur period of the 1970s, Mark Bailey has pillaged the vaults of Hollywood history and lore to dig up the true—often surprising and always outrageous—stories of our most beloved and boozy actors, directors, and screenwriters at their most soused. 
 
Humphrey Bogart got himself arrested for protecting his drinking buddies, who happened to be a pair of stuffed pandas. Ava Gardner would water-ski to the set of Night of the Iguana holding a towline in one hand and a cocktail in the other. Bing Crosby’s ill-mannered antics earned him the nickname “Binge Crosby.” And sweet Mary Pickford stashed liquor in hydrogen peroxide bottles during Prohibition. 
 
Bite-size biographies are followed by ribald anecdotes and memorable quotes. Films that notorious for their on-set imbibing, like Apocalypse Now, From Here to Eternity, and The Misfits, are featured alongside the legendary watering holes of the day. And if a star or establishment was known for a particular cocktail, the recipe is included. Edward Hemingway’s portraits complete this spirited look at America’s most iconic silver-screen legends. 
 
“This book is like being at the best dinner party in the world. And I thought I was the first person to put a bar in my closet. I was clearly born during the wrong era.” —Chelsea Handler

    “This mouthwatering collection is stuffed with satisfying Southern dishes that will keep any seafood lover coming back.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)   From the sky, Savannah and the surrounding Low Country resemble an intricate silvery spiderweb of creeks, rivers, marshes, and streams that feed into the Atlantic Ocean. Twice daily, seven-foot tides sweep the intracoastal waterways, nourishing abundant oyster beds. It is a rich marine environment that yields a variety of fresh seafood, and Savannahians have been delighting in their coastal cuisine since the area was first settled in 1733.   In this delightful roundup of the city’s classic seafood dishes, gathered from restaurants throughout Savannah, author Janice Shay has divided the featured recipes into the “major food groups”—crab, oysters, fish, and shrimp, with a nod to a few popular “carpetbagger” scallop recipes. From a hearty serving of Tubby’s Boiled Shrimp to the complex flavors of Mrs. Wilkes’ Seafood Casserole, Shay presents recipes the city’s chefs have refined to perfection. They will delight any cook with their simplicity and freshness. Those unfamiliar with Savannah food will be surprised at the soups, stews, and chowders that define their culinary traditions as well as the constant competition among restaurants as to who serves the best crab cake. Dive in and enjoy food that the whole family will love!  “This book’s a good catch, y’all. My fear is that, after this book hits the shelves, everyone will be buying so much seafood, there won’t be enough left for me.” —Martha Giddens Nesbit, coauthor of Paula Deen Celebrates!  “A mouthwatering adventure into the best restaurants the city has to offer.” —Library Journal
