I loved Anthony Bourdain's books, and love reading about restaurants, so I bet these will be right up my alley! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fun-non-fiction-to-read-while-traveling#post-2249919 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 12:49:17 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2249919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: By food critics mostly, or just people who REALLY like food.<br /> My favourites are Jeffrey Steingarten (he has two), and Jay Rayner. I've read them a dozen times each, I think. Candyfreak is really great, but its about candy factories specifically. Ruth Reichl's Garlic and Sapphires talks about her time as a critic for the New York Times (I believe), and all the restaurants she visited, and costumes she used. That one might be interesting, since you're living in NYC and would know the places. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fun-non-fiction-to-read-while-traveling#post-2249912 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 12:46:20 +0000 mrbee 2249912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Tiger: Thank you, just bought it!</p> <p>@Mrs. Oatmeal: Ah food books are books by food critics? I've read a couple and enjoyed them, like Frank Bruni's memoir. If you let me know your top all-time recommends, I'll definitely get them - and thank you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fun-non-fiction-to-read-while-traveling#post-2249908 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 12:44:04 +0000 mrbee 2249908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: I used to subscribe!
