Rick & Bubba's Big Honkin' Book Of Grub

The title just about says it all. If there is anything you want to know about food, you will more than likely find it in this book.

This book, written by Rick Burgess and Bill "Bubba" Bussey, the self-proclaimed "sexiest fat men in America", is hilarious! I could not put it down once I started reading it. To be honest, I was expecting it to be more of a cookbook, and while it does have a few recipes scattered throughout, it is more about their take on food. Which, by the way, is pretty funny. I mean, when they quoted Big Bird from Sesame Street to prove a point about giblets, I was literally laughing out loud. They also have a few "top ten" lists which were great, especially the "Never-To-Be-Broken Rules Of The Church Potluck".

But, if you only read one section in this entire book, it should definitely be "The Rick And Bubba Restaurant rating System". As funny as it is, it is also so true!

I would not recommend buying this book if you are looking for a traditional cookbook, because that is not what this book is about. This book is written to make you laugh, with a few recipes thrown in. I can not wait to try their Peanut Butter Bars Of Joy. I love chocolate and peanut butter, and these bars have both. Yum.

I would recommend this book to anyone with a sense of humor.

***I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
