Fighting the Apocalypse with Fig Bars from Joe Beef
“We’re not completely serious when we say that zombies are coming. But we do feel we’re living out the end of something. So, what is this apocalypse?”
That’s how the new book, Joe Beef: Surviving the Apocalypse, Another Cookbook of Sorts, begins. It then goes on to explain why the authors have become ever more concerned about the survival of their families in this modern and, sometimes, terrifying age.
While at first it might sound like the work of a crazy person, it caught my attention because it was written by Frederic Morin and David McMillan, the owners of Montreal’s famed restaurant, Joe Beef, which is seemingly the favorite destination of every famous (and not so famous) foodie on earth. Just like their first acclaimed book, The Art of Living According to Joe Beef: A Cookbook of Sorts, it was written with Meredith Erickson.
