The United Burger States of America

To businessman and travel writer Peter Biddlecombe, the US equals FOOD. Huge, vitamin-fortified, artery-clogging, calorie-packed, microwavable mountains of the stuff - and most of it burgers. In his ninth book, he travels the whole of the USA, state by state, as if it were a McHuge McBurger.

The United States of America is, aw shucks, many things to many people. But to businessman and travel writer Peter Biddlecombe it's FOOD. Huge, vitamin-fortified, artery-clogging, fat-laden, calorie-packed, colonic blocking, microwavable mountains of the stuff. And most of all it's burgers. McBurgers. In his ninth irreverent travel book Biddlecombe chews over the whole of the USA, state-by-state-by-state, as if it was a McHuge McBurger. From the Chicken States of Kentucky and Rhode Island to the Ice State, Alaska, he describes an entire continent whilst imparting a greal deal of practical information. This is arguably the first travel book ever written by anyone who has actually visited every one of the 51 states - and McSurvived.
