 - Nice companion bookthis is basically a nice companion book to Alton's second roadtrip. A little short on recipes--like all good cooks these folks jealously guard their secrets!. the series is an "A+", this book is more of a "B". Rating:  - Great read for food lovers!I love food, and reading about good food. This book combines a cookbook full of great recipes with an entertaining awesome story about each one of them. Its fun and interesting, I actually learned a lot of cool facts from reading it. I recommend this book, and Alton is great :-) Rating: - Trip Down Memory LaneI grew up on the Mississippi and many parts of the book took me back to a wonderful time in my life....the 1950's, before the interstate highway system. Our family vacations were spent meandering along the highways of the day, now called back roads, and discovering all that there was to be discovered and eventually getting to our destination. Feasting on Asphalt The River Run is very well written, beautifully photographed, the recipes are great. I will enjoy reading it over and over and look forward to Alton Browns next "Asphalt" book. Rating: - Home TownMy husband is from Alton, Ill so we enjoyed the TV program and now this book. It was so good we ordered copies for his sisters and family. Rating: - Entertaining, quick readI really enjoy Alton Brown's work, especially Good Eats. Feasting on Asphalt is a great companion piece to the Feasting on Asphalt television special. Alton has an easy writing style, that is very reminiscent of the way he speaks. There are many recipes in the book, as well.
