Chew On This: Everything You Don't Want to Know About Fast Food
Eric Schlosser

Subterranean Twin Cities
Greg Brick

Nor is it for those too squeamish to relish Brick's frequent immersions in raw sewage, his encounters with fetid air and sulfurous smells, and his meditations on the origins of the gelatinous "sewer slime" that coats the walls of St. Paul brewery cellars. - Star Tribune
