Book Synopsis
A toast to curly fries, hot dogs, and hard-shell tacos, Aimee Macpherson's guide to the bars and restaurants of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul celebrates the critically acclaimed shows' fusion of Albuquerque's real and imagined food and drink.
The restaurants and bars featured in Macpherson's compendium show us glimpses of Walter White's and Jimmy McGill's Albuquerque. From the Dog House to Savoy Bar and Grill, from Tuco's Hideout to Los Pollos Hermanos and every pit stop in between, Macpherson takes us on a tour of the Duke City's dreamscape of edible artifacts, connecting us to the on-screen heroes and villains we love and admire. Show by show, season by season, Macpherson reveals how restaurants and bars undergo hours of painstaking transformations before appearing on the small screen. Colorful photography and descriptions of the food and drink accompany Macpherson's insider show analysis. While this book can't give you the taste of Mike's pimento cheese sandwich, it does deliver a flavor of the city that has been a main character in this successful franchise from the time Walter White first broke bad in 2008. So, leave the fancy restaurants to New York, ignore the juicing in LA, forget your Paleo diet, and come and taste Albuquerque. Savor the luscious fare of these small-screen giants as you take in the hot sun, the high altitude, and the Duke City's local grub.Review Quotes
