Rick and Bubba's Big Honkin' Book of Grub Review, Book by: Rick Burgess and Bill Bussey

Not having had the privilege of knowing who Rick & Bubba were, I was expecting this book to be extra motivation to get ready to fire up the grill. After accepting the reality that this was not a full blown cook book, but rather an easy to read book chopped full of food related comedic reference along with a dozen or so recipes. One of the recipes to definitely try is the BBQ Sauce. I will say one of my favourite parts of this book was "Top Ten Reasons Why There Will Be Potluck In Heaven."
After reading this book, I realized that I may not be the target audience of this book, but my brother would love it so I passed it onto him, and he loved it. He likes the easy to read books that are not your standard fare. Anyone interested in a good laugh may enjoy this book, but be aware, read the publisher's synopsis, this is not a full-scale cookbook.
Publisher's Synopsis:
In Rick and Bubba’s Big Honkin’ Book of Grub, America’s sexiest fat men share wise observations and stories about grub as only they can tell them.

Rick and Bubba’s Big Honkin’ Book of Grub is exactly what a diet/recipe book should be—full of hilarious stories, good eating, and not a single mention of calories! New York Times bestselling authors Rick and Bubba are not ashamed to admit they eat for one reason and one reason only: they like the way food tastes. With family recipes from their wives Sherri and Betty (who have been keeping these two in grub for years) as well as the winning recipes from the Rick and Bubba Big Honkin’ recipe contest, this book is a keeper. So pull up a chair, grab a fork, and enjoy!
