The Good Stuff Cookbook - Spike Mendelsohn

Introduction
If you just bought this book, consider yourself privileged to have come upon it, because you have now become part of the inner circle I call the Good Stuffers. Together, we are the voice of reason when it comes to the infamous hamburger, hand-spun shakes, and fries. You are now part of the movement that loves good food, good times, and good people.
My family, friends, and I have a mutual love we share with the rest of the world when it comes to comfort foods. When we first started conceptualizing Good Stuff Eatery in Washington, D.C., we all agreed that if we were going to take on America’s favorite comfort foods, we would have no choice but to take them to the next level. After countless hours of cooking and tasting burgers, fries, wedge salads, shakes, and more, we finally had our epiphany: The secret to good food is a lot of things, but most importantly it is the people you choose to share it with. So make sure you are in Good Stuff
