| Summary |
"Trae and Corey will take you from the smallest of small towns to major US metropolises (or is it metropoli? We haven't a fartin' clue!). They'll even cross the pond to sip tea in some of them fancy kings-and-castles places that PBS Viewers Like You can't stop yapping about. From Chickamauga to Cheyenne, New York to New Orleans, Seattle to Scotland--no matter where these two wandering jesters go, there's something to roast, something to toast, and something to learn about what ties us together as humans. Even the most outrageous of us." --Amazon. |

"Every state, town, and holler has its stereotypes: New Yorkers are rude. Minnesotans are polite to a fault. Southerners are sweet as tea to your face but will murder you with a "Bless your heart" behind your back. And the residents of tiny Bugtussle, Kentucky...tussle bugs or something. We don't know. But what if there's more to these places -- many of which most of us have only heard of and never actually visited -- than meets the eye? And what if it turns out that the people who inhabit them are just like us? When it comes down to it, were just two Southern boys who, by virtue of luck and a little hard work, have been lucky enough to see the world beyond Mammaw's front porch. Join us in this irreverent travel guide that takes you to the smallest of small towns in the South and to major US metropolises. (Or is it metropoli? We don't know that either.) We even hop the Atlantic to review some of them fancy kings-and-castles places that PBS Viewers Like You can't stop yapping about. Chickamauga and Cheyenne, Napa and New Orleans, Seattle and Scotland -- it turns out that no matter where we go, there's something to roast, something to toast, and something to learn about what ties us together as humans." -- back cover. |
