More DescriptionIt can all be blamed on Rat - a six-foot tall weight-lifting fashion designer's assistant with a 'Ride with Wyoming' tee-shirt. It was, after all, her idea in the first place: 'What if we went to Europe and ate. Ate a lot.' Tired of visiting countries 'with the worst food imaginable' and remembering his last trip to France (aged 19) where even the sardines tasted good, Stuart Stevens embarks upon a gastronomic tour of Europe with a woman he barely knows and a Mustang that barely goes. Only when they reach England does Rat reveal the whole plan - to eat in ALL the 3-star Michelin restaurants in Europe (29 in all) on consecutive days... Stuart Stevens, gonzo gourmet par excellence, offers up a mixed dish of chaos, frivolity and expanding waist lines in his engaging and insightful travel book.
