Overview

The restaurants and bars featured in Macpherson's compendium show us glimpses of Walter White's and Jimmy McGill's Albuquerque. From the Dog House to Savoy Bar and Grill, from Tuco's Hideout to Los Pollos Hermanos and every pit stop in between, Macpherson takes us on a tour of the Duke City's dreamscape of edible artifacts, connecting us to the on-screen heroes and villains we love and admire. Among the plethora of real diners, drive-ins, and dives in the book are """"lost"""" locations marking the cultural heritage of Albuquerque's streets and acknowledging the temporary nature of film sets. Macpherson reveals how restaurants and bars undergo hours of painstaking transformation before appearing on the small screen. Colorful photography and descriptions of the food and drink accompany Macpherson's insider show analysis.
