Anything That Moves: Renegade Chefs, Fearless Eaters, and the Making of a New American Food Culture

By Dana Goodyear

Book Overview

Simultaneously a humorous adventure, a behind-the-scenes look at, and an attempt to understand the implications of the way we eat. This is a universe populated by insect-eaters and blood drinkers, avant-garde chefs who make food out of roadside leaves and wood and others who serve endangered species and illegal drugs. A cast of characters, in other words, who flirt with danger, taboo and disgust in pursuit of the sublime. Behind them is an intricate network of scavengers and dealers responsible for introducing the rare and exotic into the marketplace.
