Rick & Bubba's Big Honkin' Book of Grub by Rick Burgess & Bill "Bubba" Bussey

Alright, I must admit that when I requested this book from the Booksneeze book review program, I had never heard of Rick & Bubba and I was fully expecting a cookbook.  And with pictures of onion rings, pizza, burgers and fried chicken on the cover, it had to be good food!

When I got the book I was disappointed that it is not a cookbook at all!  Sure, it has some recipes in it, and a few of them look really good, but if you are expecting a book full of down-home good cooking, this is not the book for you.  If you've never heard of Rick & Bubba before, they are a pair of comedians (I think?) who have a radio show and have written a few comedic books.  This is a book talking about how Rick & Bubba look at and experience food ("Hey, you gotta live") and it is good, clean humour...even including some biblical references!  This is more like the type of book I would give as a gag gift or have sitting in my bathroom than one I would have on a bookshelf.  But that said, it was entertaining to read, and I can only imagine what Rick & Bubba would be like live!

I received this book free from the Thomas Nelson Publishers "Booksneeze" book review program.  I was under no obligation to provide a positive review.
