Summary: Cheap Imitation of the Original
Review: This book is un-unique. Like the X-GAmes, it's just hype and crap, and a rip-off of something better, just done much worse. The X-Games is the worst thing to ever happen to skateboarding, trying to legitimize something that was always best in it's outlaw form.

And this book is a piss-poor hack-job from the regular cooking column in the '80s Thrasher Magazines, called Skarfing Material. The author of SM, Chef-Boy-Am-I-Hungry, would happily pummel this Earl twit.
Does this Earl , the King of KOOK even skate?
Probably not.

There's no half-star or No star rating, otherwise I'da picked one of them.

And Tony, old buddy, you remember Skarfing Material. Surely you told this windbag that it's been done.
Call me.
Still rockin in Albuquerque.

Summary: supercharged
Review: This cookbook is as supercharged as the athletes who contributed their own style of cuisine (however off the wall it may seem to some people).
Robert Earl represented them well. I particularly enjoyed the artistic way this cookbook was compiled - great photos, humorous writings, important etiquette tips (someone must have taught him well), and some great receipes for everyone who has the pleasure of purchasing this exciting new bookbook.
Mahalo Robert Earl, this is the first cookbook I picked up and couldn't put it down! Aloha!

Summary: look out Martha stewart
Review: well, after hearing about the book from a NPR radio show in southern California and Robert Earl arriving to the show with food cooked on the grill of his car I had to check it out, sounded like something my boyfriend needed for christmas. after purchasing the book, i was pleasantly surprised by the ettiquette sections and, well I have to admit a few of the recipes where pretty darn good. so as I thought this will make a perfect gift for my boyfriend and will especially be an excuse for him to brush up on his manners and possibly even make me a pleasant dinner. the only problem is i have to order another book i'm keeping the first copy for myself. hope this helps

Review: well, i'd have to say I was surprised. I hear my grandkids talking about all the x-games and extreme sports, so i thought it would be cool to get into their world, seeing how I am now 78 years old. the recipes sound pretty good and even though i won't be getting on a skateboard anytime soon, I think the ettiquete and manners section of the book will lend some insight the the younger set. soo from the rock and roll Granda I say go get it. great stocking stuffer.
