So I hear

I was thinking about getting either that one or the Keller French Laundry book eventually.

Both are very much winning. I'd say though, if you were wanting a very authentic regional book with awesome history behind it all, Besh's book is without a doubt the best I've ever read. You will come away more informed of stuff you may not have realized and also given the tools to pull it off as spot on as I think is done. He spent a long time researching all that stuff. I can't see anyone with roots here who wouldn't be engrossed in all the wealth of information in it.
