"Venturing deep into the underground foodie culture, New Yorker contributor Goodyear plunges into the world of dedicated individuals who routinely skirt the boundaries imposed by common culinary practices and tastes. "Goodyear is a witty writer with a sly humor that makes her a genial guide to such a strange and diverse counterculture."- Los Angeles Times "Addictive, educational, and gross."- Elle But this story isn't meant to gross you out it's a window onto a world of chefs, purveyors, farmers, scavengers, and gonzo foodies."-Dani Shapiro, More And the most extreme: an unhatched chick, eaten whole.
This journalistic thriller, set among the culinary avant-garde, is all about dangerous eating. Goodyear's riveting, hilarious, disturbing, and downright disgusting new book is the perfect antidote to a Martha Stewart Thanksgiving. "I don't think I've ever used the word disgusting as a compliment, but here goes. Highly enjoyable and memorable journey through the brave and strange new world of avant garde cuisine."- Boston Globe I can't think of another writer who could have done justice to the material.
"Goodyear is an extraordinary adept reporter and observer. " Anything That Moves is frenetic and fascinating and turns the stomach."- Bloomberg Businessweek You won't want to adjust your dietary habits, but in a lot of ways, it's already changing."- Grantland
They're an esoteric group whose influence is slowly seeping into the mainstream. What Anything That Moves does better than talk about weird food is profile the obsessives who eat it. "Like any good exploration of an avant-garde subculture, Goodyear populates her stories with all sorts of fascinations.
I don't want to be there, but I want to have already been there."- Newsweek It was like reading Bruce Chatwin on Patagonia or Ryszard Kapuscinski on Ethiopia, maybe even Norman Mailer on war. "It is precisely because I am not a foodie that I found such immense pleasure in reading Dana Goodyear's Anything That Moves: Renegade Chefs, Fearless Eaters, and the Making of a New American Food Culture. "Dana Goodyear's new book, about being a wallflower at the American food orgy, won me over on its second page."- The New York Times Anyone who can write so wisely and entertainingly about eating rarities is a rarity herself."- Slate
