Sound Bites by Alex Kapranos

This is an innovative rock band tour story/culinary adventure. People have written about food on the road and being on the road with a band, but as far as I know, Alex Kapranos is the first to write about eating food on the road while touring with his band. The lead singer/guitarist of Franz Ferdinand writes amusingly about food-as-adventure. Each very short piece is chalk full of vibrant descriptions that are simple and evocative and draw upon his knowledge of food that he gained during the time he spent as a commis chef. The book is amusing to read. He eats marrow bone in New York, deep fried pizza in his home country, Scotland, sushi in San Francisco, and some very oddthings in other countries around the world including deep fried insects and durian.
