Summary

Thanks to foodies, soft-focus feature spreads, and unbending artisan philosophies, you'd think that cooking has become a rarified skill that only those with a Yelp account and three-hundred dollar knife set can enjoy. It's easy to forget that delicious food is often loud, messy, and fun. When was the last time a Michelin-starred restaurant made you feel like you discovered a secret, amazing part of a city? When was the last time you yelled "this is f*king amazing!" at a tastefully-appointed bistro? But you did pledge your undying devotion to that food truck at 3:00 am, right before the memories get fuzzy. So we dug up that taco recipe, plus a couple hundred others worthy of your foul-mouthed late night praise. And now you can make it yourself at home.

For those who like their food grilled, fired, and charred, Eat Street presents 200 recipes for the most delicious food in the world -- street food. Starting with the setups, you'll discover how to get the most out of everything from flat-top griddles to outdoor brick ovens to earthenware pots, so you make the best food with the right equipment. Then dig into the greatest hand-held grub from around the world: Philly Cheese Steaks, Pork Belly Gyoza Dumplings, Arepas, and more. Each recipe comes paired with a beer, so you put the right bottle or can with whatever you're cooking. Welcome to Eat Street .

Author Notes

John Carruthers is a writer, editor, and 2014 graduate of Hot Dog University. Yes, that's a real thing. His thoughts on meat, and the cooking and eating thereof, have appeared in Serious Eats, Thrillist, The Big Lead , and Food City from the University of Illinois Press. He and his wife live in Chicago, because you can get a decent taco there at any hour.

John Scholl is a founding member of ManBQue. When he's not at his day job in advertising, he's cooking or brewing beer. He also travels with his family, searching for great food and beer. He lives in Chicago with his wife, two kids, and dog.

Jesse Valenciana is the founder of ManBQue and lifelong Chicagoan. Aside from contributing his sports related sarcasm to a local newspaper, he gets paid to travel the country for a beer company and has his pig-dog Gus tattooed on his arm. That's called living the dream.

Publisher's Weekly Review

Lest there be any worry that the street food scene is lacking in machismo, enter these three gents from Chicago who refer to themselves, in the collective, as ManBQue. With a clear affinity for pork products and a vocabulary rich in four-letter words, the guys toss out their take on 200 different recipes from around the world. One section discusses six types of fries and six dipping sauces; another considers a dozen different hot dogs, including a Chicago-style dog, a Norwegian fransk dog, and a Columbian that is topped with crushed pineapple and quail eggs. Pineapple also shows up in the Hawaiian empanada (not to be confused with the 'merica empanada, which has apples and peanut butter). Bacon is in abundance, starring in a classic English bacon butty as well as a worrisome dessert, bacon s'mores. The ManBQue credo is "meat, beer, rock and roll," so each recipe is paired with a brew. There are no explanations for the pairings, but just go with it. Then rock out to a section titled "Kick Out the Jams," where the authors offer a playlist of tunes for any dining dilemma in which a bro might find himself. (Apr.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

Library Journal Review

ManBQue (manbque.com) originated with monthly grilling events in Chicago. Carruthers, John Scholl, and Jesse Valenciana follow the group's debut grilling collection, ManBQue, with a new book of street food recipes written for laid-back home cooks who've grown tired of expensive food trends and stringent dietary guidelines. Dispensing with formality, the authors share recipes such as bacon lime fried rice, Nashville hot chicken, doritomales (a concoction of boiled instant ramen mixed with crushed cheese-flavored corn chips), and Telenovela hot chocolate. There's plenty of humor in their directions as well. The book concludes with suggested songs that readers can listen to when they're "hungover at Waffle House," "getting invited to a boat party," or in other situations. VERDICT Recommend this humorous, unconventional cookbook to readers who like meaty and fried comfort foods with a healthy dose of sarcasm. © Copyright 2016.
