A Travel Writer Encounters Gargantuan Gators, Irksome Offspring, Murderous Mayonnaise & True Love
DEATH BY TARTAR SAUCE¬†is Jules Older’s strangest, wildest, and¬†funniest¬†experiences as a travel writer. They take place in California, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Vermont; Australia, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Puerto Rico, Scotland, Virgin Islands and New Zealand. The tales involve kids and sex (strangely, in that order), skiing and snowboarding, crocs and gators, grand opera and extremely fast cars.
There’s also a section Older calls¬†‚ÄúThe Grumpie Foodie.‚Äù¬†In it, he comes to grips with food and wine. One chapter, ‚ÄúI Didn‚Äôt Spit‚Äù, deals with his first encounter with real wine writers. Another, ‚ÄúDefiner Dishes‚Äù, describes the ethnic foods that separate members of the tribe/religion/nation from outsiders. ‚ÄúOmnivore‚Äôs Revenge‚Äù takes Older and his vegetarian wife to the judges‚Äô table at the New England BBQ Championships.
The stories in DEATH BY TARTAR SAUCE take place while traveling alone, with his boisterous family, and with other travel writers … including the food writer who came close to experiencing Death By Tartar Sauce.
