Summary:
"The author of the blog TaxiGourmet.com takes us from Buenos Aires to New York to Berlin as she, driven by wanderlust and an unrelenting appetite, finds purpose, passion, and unexpected flavor. German
food
journalist Layne Mosler's search for her next meal based on a recommendation from a cab driver starts in Buenos Aires: After leaving a tango club, she impulsively asks her taxista to take her to his favorite restaurant. Soon she's savoring one of the best steaks of her life, and in the weeks after, repeating the experiment with equally delectable results. In New York City the author continues her
food
quests and meets a pair of extraordinary lady cab drivers who convince her to become a taxi driver herself. In Berlin she becomes as enchanted with the city's aura of restless transformation as she does with the spicy curries, and a certain fellow cabbie who knows as much about Nietzsche as he does about sausage. With her vivid descriptions of places and people and
food
, Mosler, who has a degree in anthropology and more than a decade of experience in the restaurant trade, has given us a book that speaks to the beauty of chance encounters and the pleasures of not always knowing your destination."--Provided by publisher.
