After the Second World War, a newly affluent United States reached
for its own gourmet culture, one at ease with the French
international style of Escoffier, but also distinctly American.
Enter James Beard, authority on cooking and eating, his
larger-than-life presence and collection of whimsical bow ties were
synonymous with the nation's food for decades, even after his death
in 1985. In the first biography of Beard in twenty-five years,
acclaimed writer John Birdsall argues that Beard's struggles as a
closeted gay man directly influenced his creation of an American
cuisine. Starting in the 1920s, Beard escaped loneliness and
banishment by travelling abroad to places where people ate for
pleasure, not utility, and found acceptance at home by crafting an
American ethos of food likewise built on passion and delight.
Informed by never-before-tapped correspondence and lush with
details of a golden age of home cooking, The Man Who Ate Too Much
is a commanding portrait of a towering figure who still represents
the best in food.

intelligence about family and friends, and how to write thank-you
