Description: "Traversing Appalachia from an Italian kitchen in Pennsylvania to a soda shop in South Carolina, 'Buttermilk and Bible Burgers' is a tribute to people loyal to the land and proud of their culinary heritage. Sauceman describes the common bond of breaking beans, the dignity of the barbecue pit, the nobility of the black-iron skillet, and the transformative power of a glass of Tennessee buttermilk." --
