TALES FROM THE TUMMY TRILOGY, by Calvin Trillin, read by the author (HighBridge Audio), approx. three hours, $18.95
Sadly, Calvin Trillin quit writing about “pigging out” in 1982. When ferreting out great little places where the locals eat, he wasn’t a food writer but a wonderfully funny “eating” writer, who packed his fork and hit the road. The 17 selections from “the Walt Whitman of American eats,” served up in a delicious, droll voice, are drawn from collections of essays that first
ran in The New Yorker.
