The Food, the Bad, and the Ugly

"The Food, the Bad, and the Ugly" operates on several different platters. I mean levels. It's a history book. It's a book about popular culture (both ancient and modern). It's a book about the human condition It's a book about music, movies, television, trivia, literature, sports, sex, and relationships. It's a book about politics. And, yes...it's a book about food. But mostly...it's completely outrageous and hilarious. And it also represents a new milestone in clever word play. By its very nature, any book about food is bound to be largely tongue in cheek. But this one has teeth. Yet "The Food, the Bad, and the Ugly" isn't merely a book about food. There is not a single recipe to be found. Instead, the book addresses a variety of issues within a food-related context -- even though they may have very little directly to do with food.Historical figures, singers, actors, writers, politicians, athletes, or just regular people... they are all subjected to the "food treatment".
