It read like an advanced college text book with lots of works cited and a large bibliography.
In the end (ha), “Bite Me” was a little too academic for my taste. Yes folks, I am reading a book, with a big naked butt on the cover. I mean come on, this is a cover that got me lots of second looks as I read it on the train. I was expecting something along the lines of Kitchen Confidential, Fast Food Nation, or Candyfreak- an engaging expose on how food influences and is influenced by pop culture. Okay, honestly, with a title like “Bite Me: Food in Popular Culture” and a cover that is a bit suggestive with a close-up picture of the cleft of a peach/nectarine, I was at the very least expecting a book that was readable and fun.
