Advance Praise
"Peterson's second book is like a meal prepared by a top-tier chef:
great individual ingredients coming together to form something even
better ... Peterson services up his story in delicious form."
--Publishers Weekly
"Delivers nothing less than a Falstaffian
feast of fun ... Prepare also to be surprised by the masterful prose
offered up here by the author, whose pacing, descriptions, dialogue and
plotting are seamlessly and effortlessly impeccable, allowing one to
fully concentrate his attention upon the fine, if most eccentric,
gourmet dining experience of a lifetime." --Joel R. Dennstedt,

Mary N, Reviewer
Memorable! I received a copy from NetGalley and this is my honest review. I really enjoyed this book and it still has not left my mind though I have read other books since I finished it. A great cross-country journey by rail filled with food and fun. I just loved the wit of the main character! I will definitely be recommending this book.
