An enthralling experience in dining
Mike Sula is a food writer for the Chicago reader. In his unique writing style, he builds chemistry with the reader by flirting with his preconceptions of whatever exotic delicacy is currently tempting him. His tone is personal and intimate, as if speaking to one friend or one reader. He dolls out expectations of what said dish will ostensibly taste like and usually opens with a comparison to some mutually identifiable snack. He mounts the anticipation with purposive creativity, describing texture without consideration to taste. He begins to undress ingredients in a slow and deliberate manor. When anticipation has finally met its climax, he serenades his audience with an ode to the sensuality of taste that leaves his readers appetite enamored and aroused. Sula writes as only an Obese, sexually deviant poet could. His intimacy with food is contagious; After reading a few stanzas, I didn't know if I wanted a bowl of Kita Firfir to sate my hunger or if I wanted a bowl of Turshi Amba to have sex with. In any case, I found his insights to be very informative. The feathery language provides enough excitement to produce these exotic dishes as intriguing and relevant choies. A scholarly writing style is conducive to book reviewing. Its obvious that Mike Sula's genius lies in his simple understanding that we all gotta' eat. His review style is well acclimated to mass appeal and his tangible interest in culinary delight makes him a trustworthy source.
