Feeding Frenzy - by Stuart Stevens (Paperback)

About the Book

Stuart Stevens and ex-model Rat Kelly share two interests: exercise and eating. When Rat suggests taking their eating to a new level by touring all the three-star restaurants of Europe, Stuart eagerly agrees. What follows is nothing less than gustatory madness, an eating scramble that includes a brakeless, cherry-red 1965 Mustang, a golden retriever named Henry, and meals in five countries. FEEDING FRENZY is the ultimate foodie road trip.

Book Synopsis

Friends and fellow New Yorkers Stuart Stevens and Rachel "Rat" Kelly share two passions: exercise and eating. Having exhausted nearly every posh Manhattan restaurant, former model Rat suggests they take their buffed bodies to new gastronomic heights via a tour of Europe's Michelin three-star restaurants. Rat's boyfriend will underwrite the trip--but only if they do the twenty-nine restaurants on their list in twenty-nine days.

What follows is nothing less than gustatory madness, a wacky dash in a cherry-red 1965 Mustang across England, Belgium, Germany, Italy, and France through Europe's greatest food temples. Filled with hilarious misadventures, priceless exchanges with star chefs, wild excess, breathtaking scenery, and sensual depictions of once-in-a-lifetime meals, Feeding Frenzy will delight travelers and epicures alike.
