I read "I'm Not Hungry But I Could Eat" a short story collection by Christopher Gonzalez. Food plays a role in each of the stories that primarily feature queer Puerto Rican men. Overall, it was a really interesting collection. I'd definitely read more by the author in the future.

I'm listening to Jim Gaffigan's Food: A Love Story right now, perfect for this challenge category.
But I also just finished Marrying the Ketchups by Jennifer Close (a fellow Boston College grad!) which takes place in a restaurant just outside Chicago. I really enjoyed that family story.
