Customer Reviews

One of the best, truly and innovator of his time

I was highly pleased with the content and organization of this book. I travel a lot so I have so far been able to visit at least 5 of these restaurants and have been quite pleased and not too surprised with the service, atmosphere, and food, that I received. My favorite part of the book however is how it really marks our culture and brings out such an important and often overlooked factor: hunger! Vegetarianism in the United States is growing and is truly transforming us--teaching us to look at food differently which is so needed where still so many people go hungry because of such impoverished food politics. At any rate, the book to me is likened to a good movie review-it doubles the excitement of a film which can be experienced on so many levels--yes i'm an aesthete. Good book! I'll look for more from Frost.
