I do avocado instead of guacamole because I want it to be pure, without having extra stuff in it. I have a recipe for the beans to make them amazing, then the rice is Spanish Rice style with vegetables. One of my favorites is a bean, rice, and avocado burrito. What meal have you been really into lately? I sat down with Gnade via Zoom to talk about writing, inspiration, and of course, burritos. They’re the stars of their respective scenes, but they also coexist with all of the people associated with them.
And that’s the point: food=emotion.Īs Gnade tells stories about his upbringing in San Diego (the setting for a lot of his other books as well) and his travels across the country, the real stars include Cactus Candy, the Tuna Melt, the Wendy’s Frosty, Nacho Cheese Doritos, and so on. Speaking as an Arizonan, this image strikes a massive emotional chord in me. The novel’s cover says it all: a hand is pouring hot sauce on a big burrito, a bottle of Jarritos soda watches from the side, and a blurry Mexican Food sign hovers in the background. It is entitled After Tonight, Everything Will Be Different (Three One G Records), and the author of this book is rural Kansas-resident Adam Gnade (pronounced “guh-naw-dee”). I mean literature that conveys dining as an important life experience, one that’s on par with if not more significant than human love.Īlas, such a work of literature has arrived. So why are there so few books that give food the proper respect?Īnd by books, I don’t mean cooking guides or anything else you’ll find in the culinary section at Barnes and Noble. Not only does it make our survival possible (It’s true!), but it also stirs up a cornucopia of responses and memories. Here’s a fun science fact for you: food is important.
