Book Description
The lead singer of the acclaimed, platinum-selling group Franz Ferdinand takes readers on a rock-and-roll culinary adventure around the world

The extremely successful neo–New Wave band Franz Ferdinand has millions of fans around the globe, and the group’s frequent tours bring its members not only to a wide variety of places but also face to face with a wide range of food. Here, lead singer Alex Kapranos collects his humorous and insightful reflections—compiled partly from his column in the Guardian (London)—on his many international gastronomic encounters, both savory and not so savory. From the charms of a donut shop in a Polish-speaking part of Brooklyn to a decidedly less charming pair of bull’s testicles in Buenos Aires to the seductive, almost-vegetarian allure of a heavenly Singaporean buffet, Kapranos always gets the mouthwatering details just right while delivering an entertaining look at rock-and-roll life on the road.

About the Author
Alex Kapranos is the frontman for the Scottish rock group Franz Ferdinand, whose first two albums have sold more than 1.5 million copies.

i heard him talking to terry gross about it. seemed like it could be interesting, but i have to ask the question... who wants food criticism from a scotsman?

My lady heard him on NPR as well last night and she said he was very interesting to listen to. She said something like The New York Times said that they didn't understand why he was in a rock band when it was obvious that his true calling was writing...at least about food.

So there's that...

There's an interview with him in the latest issue of Venus and he seems like a pretty cool guy.

He was born in England, so he's not technically Scottish.

But hey, what do the Brits know about food?
