"The discovery that one street in Auckland was lined with 55 food joints got Steve Braunias thinking. Could one man eat the lot in a single year? Was it possible, was it wise, and was it something that might actually provide an understanding about a nation devoted to eating junk food? This is the journal of his quest. It's a rich comedy set in McDonald's, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Subway, Dunkin' Donuts and other franchises, one after another, one step at a time, told by a hero for our times." -- Cover.
