Kitchens of the Great Midwest

I listened to this on audiobook which had a quite delightful narrative. The Midwestern accent really sold it. This is the best novel about food that I've read since Like Water For Chocolate. While they are nothing alike, I think this novel represents a food culture in the same way LWFC does. It's cyclical, acerbic, refreshing, luxurious... The perspectives are unique while still sharing a common wit. I will say that the pacing wasn't necessarily momentous, but it was really nice to enjoy this in breaths.
