The United Burger States of America

To Peter Biddlecombe the US means FOOD: huge, vitamin-fortified, artery-clogging, fat-laden, microwaveable mountains of the stuff. And most of all it's burgers. In his ninth travel book, he chews over the whole of the USA, state by state by state.

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, enormous, vitamin-fortified, artery-clogging, fat-laden, calorie-packed, colon-blocking, microwaveable mountains of the stuff. And most of all it's burgers. In his ninth irreverent travel book, Biddlecombe chews over the whole of the USA, state by state by state, as if it were a huge burger. From the Chicken States of Kentucky and Rhode Island to the Ice State, Alaska, he describes an entire continent with wit and precision, whilst imparting a greal deal of practical information. It is arguably the first travel book ever written by anyone who has actually visited every one of the 51 states - and survived.
