Eat My Globe One Year in Search of the Most

When Simon Majumdar hit forty, he realized there had to be more to life than his stable but uninspiring desk job-there's a big world out there, and he'd eaten hardly any of it. So he quit his job with a new mission in mind-to go everywhere and eat everything in a yearlong search for the delicious, and curious, and the curiously delicious-which he names Eat My Globe and memorably chronicles in these pages.

Simon Majumdar splits his time between London and Los Angeles, where he lives with his wife, who he met while doing the travel research for this book. He and his computer-whiz brother write the award-winning blog www.doshermanos.co.uk, which has earned him thousands of readers a day and a spot on the London Evening Standard’s list of London’s most influential people. He is a judge for Next Iron Chef America.
