Eat like a man

Rooted in the American culinary tradition and drawing on the food coverage of *Esquire* magazine, this volume brings together 75 recipes spanning brunch, lunch, dinner, sides, drinks, and desserts, alongside essays and commentary written in a distinctly masculine editorial voice. Edited by *Esquire* food editor Ryan D'Agostino, the collection targets confident home cooks seeking straightforward, satisfying meals rather than elaborate technique, with contributions from notable chefs including David Chang, Hugh Acheson, Michael Symon, and Andrew Carmellini. The book distinguishes itself by blending recipe content with longer-form food writing and personal essays, reflecting the magazine's broader approach to food as an integral part of lifestyle and identity rather than a purely culinary subject.
