- Used Book in Good Condition
â€œTrillin is our funniest food writer. He writes with charm, freedom, and a rare respect for language.â€
â€“New York magazine

In this delightful and delicious book, Calvin Trillin, guided by an insatiable appetite, embarks on a hilarious odyssey in search of â€œsomething decent to eat.â€ Across time zones and cultures, and often with his wife, Alice, at his side, Trillin shares his triumphs in the art of culinary discovery, including Dungeness crabs in California, barbecued mutton in Kentucky, potato latkes in London, blaff dâ€™oursins in Martinique, and a $33 picnic on a no-frills flight to Miami. His eating companions include Fats Goldberg, the New York pizza baron and reformed blimp; William Edgett Smith, the man with the Naughahyde palate; and his six-year-old daughter, Sarah, who refuses to enter a Chinese restaurant unless she is carrying a bagel (â€œjust in caseâ€). And though Alice â€œhas a weird predilection for limiting our family to three meals a day,â€ on the road she proves to be a serious eaterâ€“despite â€œseemingly uncontrollable attacks of moderation.â€ Alice, Let Eat amply demonstrates why The New Republic called Calvin Trillin â€œa classic American humorist.â€

â€œOne of the most brilliant humorists of our times . . . Trillin is guaranteed good reading.â€
