"'Food and travel are natural companions,' writes guest editor Padma Lakshmi. From this pairing comes 'the possibility of seeing anew, of examining how we make and assign meaning.' The essays in this year’s Best American Food and Travel Writing circle the world--from Dakar in Senegal, to Michoacán in south-central Mexico, to the Camino de Santiago in Spain--and deepen our understanding of our place in it. An ode to the American grilled cheese spurs the desire to find beauty in the smallest daily activities. An obsessive odyssey for the perfect Chinese food blossoms into a heart-wrenching search for a lost childhood. Bold and insightful, joyful and moving, this collection celebrates the experiences that connect us all." -- Provided by publisher.
