The Kitchen Fable: On the Mythical Origins of the World's Most Useful Sandwich by Tim Knutson

Description

The Kitchen Fable dares to answer a question that no one is asking. How would Americans react if peanut butter and jelly sandwiches did not exist until today? When the Gen-X owner of Miss Betty's Diner has her sandwich "discovered" by a budding podcaster, how will she handle her new found fame? Thankfully, her son and his collection of roguish friends are willing to help her navigate the media, the wake of vulturine influencers, and a litigious billionaire, intent on complicating her unpretentious life.From Wisconsin to Nashville, Chicago to Los Angeles, Austin to Iowa, the phenomenon of pairing peanut butter with jelly on two slices of bread is about to get swallowed up by American popular culture.
