Description

College football culture is captured through the food, small town characters, and college life that makes Saturdays in autumn something fans look forward to every year.

In TASTE OF THE TOWN, Todd Blackledge, host of the enormously popular ESPN segment "Taste of the Town," focuses on popular college towns by telling you where to eat, what to eat, and great stories about college football traditions across America. With over 100 recipes from the chefs of the featured restaurants and the coach (or wife) of the hometown team you will be left hungry and excited to try out the popular football food for yourselves!

Behind-the-scenes photos, shot on location, enhance the energy of the fun and food featured in each town. This book about football, food, and college culture showcases the coaches, players, chefs, and rabid fans who regularly join together to talk about their common passion.

Publishers Weekly Review

Mar 31, 2014 – ESPN devotees will all recognize former NFL quarterback Blackledge. And not only as a familiar voice in the Saturday afternoon press box, but as the curious food-lover in minute-long Taste of the Town segments that highlight the eateries around America's biggest football campuses. Collected here are bite-sized restaurant reminiscences from 20 college towns, along with recipes from his favorite diners, bbq joints, seafood shacks, and ice cream parlors. Near the University of Alabama he visits the Waysider, where Bear Bryant once dined on country ham, and shares their recipes for salmon croquettes and chocolate pie. At Ohio State, he explores the Thurman Cafe's infamous Thurmanator burger, a bunned morass of ground chuck, bacon, ham and three kinds of cheese. As a bonus, or perhaps a penalty, Blackledge includes a chapter entitled Coaches Can Cook, which features favorite dishes from men who have spent a lot of time in locker rooms. Audibles include tuna relish from LSU's Les Miles, Jimmy Dean sausage dip from Arkansas's Bret Bielema, and—What are they thinking?—a salsa recipe from Joe Paterno. A great book for fans heading out on road trips this bowl season.
