    very highly recommended hilarious book about loving food
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2020*

Food: A Love Story by Jim Gaffigan is a very highly recommended hilarious book about, well, loving food and a culinary tour, of sorts, across the USA.As Gaffigan points out: “What are my qualifications to write this book? None really. So why should you read it? Here’s why: I’m a little fat. If a thin guy were to write about a love of food and eating I’d highly recommend that you do not read his book." Cheeseburgers and bacon are high on the list, for obvious reasons, but that is a starting point for what Gaffigan loves. He makes it quite clear that he loves to eat, eats basically all the time, thinks about food constantly, and is ready to share his informed opinion about what he likes to eat across the USA. The Geography of American Food according to Gaffigan is: Seabugland; Eating BBQland; Super Bowl Sunday Foodland; Mexican Foodland; Wineland; Coffeeland; Food Anxietyland.He also makes it clear in a humorous way what he doesn't enjoy. "Ten years ago nobody ate kale. Then someone (probably a kale farmer or Satan) discovered that kale had some health benefits, and off kale went. Now we are in the middle of a full-fledged kale trend or, as I call it, a kale epidemic." Kale is just one of the foods that are a no-go for him and he is entertaining while he covers what he doesn't like as much as what he likes.This is my first Gaffigan book and I quite enjoyed the clean comedy, the inclusion of his wife and children in the stories, and that it is an entertaining lighthearted book about the foods he loves. Admittedly, I approached reading  it with a bit of trepidation after recent not funny political comments from him, but this was written years before that and was great escapism during a trying time. I found myself laughing or chuckling throughout the whole book. I'm going to leave with two quotes: "There are some people who don’t like ketchup. I think they are called losers." and something that needs to be made into one of those inspirational wall plaques, "I mostly eat ice cream at night in sweatpants, the uniform of ice cream eating."

    Funny, Quick Read!
  

*by K***. on Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2014*

I love Jim Gaffigan, and while this was not as funny as "Dad is Fat", I did really enjoy this book.  And you don't have to be a food lover to enjoy it.  Anyone who eats any kind of regular food at all will find humor in his anecdotes and humor.  I found myself laughing out loud several times as I read this book.  It’s a fast read and meant to be that way.  Jim’s commentary on all the different fast food chains, the absurdity of some menu choices in the U.S., etc, were hysterical. The main reason I enjoyed the book is that I just love Jim’s quirky and down-to-earth sense of humor that the “everyday person” can relate to.  Disclaimer: if you are a very uptight vegetarian who never eats anything like pizza or fast food, you will probably not enjoy this book unless you have a good sense of humor.

    This Guy Is Funny
  

*by T***H on Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2014*

My interest in Jim Gaffigan’s work has followed a strange path.  Never very familiar with him as a stand-up comic, I read his book Dad Is Fat because that was a sentence I heard often from my own children.  That book turned out to be laugh-out-loud funny, so it’s no surprise that I took a look at his follow-up, Food: A Love Story.  Once again, I was impressed by the number of belly-laughs I got out of this book.  I do not consider myself particularly funny, which makes my appreciation of those who are that much greater.The other odd thing which struck me again as I was reading this was how similar Mr. Gaffigan and I are (apart from the funny thing).  Though we’ve never crossed paths, we tread much of the same ground in NYC, bringing up our kids and trying not to upset our healthy-minded wives too much with our eating habits.  Our palates also seem to be equally warped by a meat & potatoes 1970’s Midwestern upbringing.  It’s something that stands out in relief as we try to make our way in the Big Apple.In the days since reading Dad Is Fat I have watched a few of Mr. Gaffigan’s performances online so I can better place a voice with the text.  It’s certainly not necessary for enjoyment of his books, but it does give reading his work a bit more flavor (a weak pun is the best I can do).  I have to say, I’m already looking forward to whatever else he comes up with next.
