Nationally syndicated columnist and bestselling author of "Ask a
Mexican "Gustavo Arellano presents a tasty trip through the history
and culture of Mexican food in this country, uncovering great
stories and charting the cuisine's tremendous popularity north of
the border. Arellano's fascinating narrative combines history,
cultural criticism, food writing, personal anecdotes, and Jesus on
a tortilla. In seemingly every decade for over a century, America
has tried new culinary trends from south of the border, loved them,
and demanded the next big thing. As a result, Mexican food
dominates American palates to the tune of billions of dollars in
sales per year, from canned refried beans to tortilla wraps and
ballpark nachos. It's a little-known history, one that's crept up
on this country and left us better for it.
