by Tyler Kord
[Our] Chef Tyler Kord directs his energy into careless rumination on sandwich philosophy, love, self-loathing, pay phones, getting drunk in the shower, Tom Cruise, food ethics, and what it's like having the names of two different women tattooed on your body. Most of this rambling also happens to include truly excellent recipes, like roast beef with crispy shallots and smoky French dressing, or a mind-blowing mayonnaise that tastes exactly like pho. This is his first book. If you buy it, you can help make sure it won't be his last.
