Steven Raichlen, a national barbecue treasure and author of The Barbecue! Bible, How to Grill, and other books in the Barbecue! Bible series, embarks on a quest to find the soul of American barbecue, from barbecue-belt classics-Lone Star Brisket, Lexington Pulled Pork, K.C. Pepper Rub, Tennessee Mop Sauce-to the grilling genius of backyards, tailgate parties, competitions, and local restaurants. In 450 recipes covering every state as well as Canada and Puerto Rico, BBQ USA celebrates the best of regional live-fire cooking. Finger-lickin' or highfalutin; smoked, rubbed, mopped, or pulled; cooked in minutes or slaved over all through the night, American barbecue is where fire meets obsession. There's grill-crazy California, where everything gets fired up - dates, Caesar salad, lamb shanks, mussels. Latin-influenced Florida, with its Chimichurri Game Hens and Mojo-Marinated Pork on Sugar Cane. Maple syrup flavors the grilled fare of Vermont; Wisconsin throws its kielbasa over the coals; Georgia barbecues Vidalias; and Hawaii makes its pineapples sing. Accompanying the recipes are hundreds of tips, techniques, sidebars, and pit stops. It's a coast-to-coast extravaganza, from soup (grilled, chilled, and served in shooters) to nuts (yes, barbecued peanuts, from Kentucky).

From the public television host, a tour of the US’s oldest and greatest dining spots—with “delightful tales, delicious recipes, and hundreds of photographs” (Ted Allen, host of Food Network’s Chopped). Come along on a pilgrimage to some of the oldest, most historic restaurants in America. Each is special not only for its longevity but also for its historic significance, interesting stories, and, of course, wonderful food. The oldest Japanese restaurant in the country is profiled, along with stagecoach stops, elegant eateries, barbecue joints, hamburger shops, cafes, bars and grills, and two dueling restaurants that both claim to have invented the French dip sandwich. The bestselling author and host/producer of Barbecue America shares the charm, history, and appeal that made these establishments, some as many as three hundred years old, successful. Each profile contains a famous recipe, the history of the restaurant, a look at the restaurant today, descriptions of some of its signature dishes, fun facts that make each place unique, and beautiful photos. It’s all you need for an armchair tour of one hundred restaurants that have made America great. “Browne spent three years traveling more than 46,000 miles to profile the 100 restaurants, inns, taverns and public houses he selected as being the most historic, most interesting and most successful.” —Orlando Sentinel “It is Browne’s exploration of the history behind each place that I found most interesting...The White Horse Tavern gave him the Beef Wellington recipe. Peter Luger, the legendary Brooklyn Steakhouse, shared one for German Fried Potatoes and Katz’s Delicatessen in New York City offered Katz’s Noodle Kugel. And, Ferrara in Little Italy in New York City parted with its cannoli recipe.” —Sioux City Journal “Ask any chef: It’s not easy keeping a restaurant alive for a week, let alone a year or a decade. So what does it take to last a century? After five years of criss-crossing the country and gobbling up regional specialties from chowder to chili, Rick Browne reveals the answer to that question.” —Ted Allen, host of Food Network’s Chopped

“There I Wuz” refers to being in flight somewhere in the sky or perhaps in an otherwise routine situation when something unforeseen happened. It was the way aviators started their most gripping stories. Flight surgeons are privy to many such stories and “Doc” White relates the scary situations and tales of funny, tragic and intriguing events from inside naval aviation. He highlights what it was like to live and work on an aircraft carrier during the Viet Nam conflict and the cold war. He writes from the perspective of a Navy Flight Surgeon, a physician and a medical officer. The narrative describes all the complexities of flight operations, how everything functions and coordinates ...... and the psychology of those who make it happen. Join the author as he looks back at an incredible life in the Navy filled with medical tales, aviation adventures, and highs and lows. The narrative is personal, entertaining and interesting on many levels. “Great read, unusual in that Navy Flight Surgeons seldom comment on life on the carriers. Superbly written ... another perspective of Navy Life at sea and a doctor’s wonderful memoirs.” – Warm Regards, Captain Dan A. Pedersen (USN, Retired), Founder of the “TOPGUN” Navy Fighter Weapons School in 1969 and Skipper of USS Ranger (CV-61) in 1982. “These recollections are familiar to me at different times and places...and are a treasured memory.

A Firm State of Heart is Bob Gilbert's fourth novel and the third that takes place in Washington, DC. It's protagonist, Minneapolis native Samuel Meckler, is a young poet crafting a long poem that documents the spirit of the times. Meckler supports himself by working as a waiter at Tadich Grill, an upscale Washington restaurant located on Pennsylvania Avenue between the White House and the US Capitol. His interaction with congressmen, senators, cabinet members, and media personalities gives him an eyewitness account of American politics. His social life takes him into DC cultural salons, ghetto trap houses, and Capitol Hill streets. His affair with a famous broadcaster coincides with the COVID-19 pandemic, the economic recession, and the death of George Floyd, which wrecks his hometown. Ultimately, A Firm State of Heart is an idealistic young man's attempt to articulate new values in a digital age rife with fraud and cynicism. Though it takes place in the Trump era, it barely mentions the president's name because ultimately, the story is not about politics but about the creation of a new literature.

About the Book I JUST TURNED TWO: How I Learned to Live After Nearly Dying is a memoir detailing a seven-year period in the author’s life where his wife, Patsy fought her way back from a stroke, and he struggled through intense chemotherapy treatments battling two bouts of fatal leukemia. Through it all, the author learned the answer to the oldest question about humanity: Why are we here? The author states: “My wife’s and my journey is, plainly speaking, unique. When we as humans fully understand why we are here, it gives way to peace in our life as ordinary troubles become secondary.” About the title—when one has a stem cell transplant, they “become” the person of their donor. A stem cell recipient gains a new blood type and even complete new DNA. It is called chimerism. The medical profession looks at one’s transplant date as a new birthday. “Hence, as my transplant was on March 13, 2019, I am (was at the time I began writing the book) two years old.” About the Author Dean Weitenhagen is a very recent resident of Arizona. He is an active member of the Board of Directors of Shepherd of the Desert Lutheran Church and is very involved in local political advocacy as a Precinct Committeeman.. He is married to Patsy Tobis and has two children: Jesse and Silas and one stepson, Zachary. Dean enjoys studying history and keeping up with current events. After completing training to be an air traffic controller, he spent twenty-one years in the broadcast television business and then twenty-five years in the commercial real estate business. His life experience throughout his working life, prepared him, he believes, to be able to handle the adversity he encountered beginning in 2017. And, it left him open minded enough to not focus on his troubles, but on what life is (should be) really all about.

As a man once burned, he knew he should stay away from her. However, as a PI he was interested in what she had to say. Cosette's friend, an exotic dancer in San Francisco, was murdered in Washington Square. Two underage girls from the Broadway strip joints also went missing at the same time.
