"Heat" by Bill Buford

This is the first in what may become occasional commentary on various gastonomical books I read. I tend to get to things in my own order, so I won't promise that they're going to be the latest books out there (hell, I just finally got around to "Kitchen Confidential" in 2011), but I'm sure I'm not the only one who is behind on his reading.

After carrying it in my bag a couple of trips but not actually getting to it, I vowed that on my recent Cape Cod vacation, Heat, by Bill Buford would be the frontline read instead of a backup. It came highly regarded by many, including being mentioned in an episode of Tony Bourdain's "The Layover"
