    I'm currently following this new book; it's quite well-written and worth checking out. It's called "Selling Barbecue at the Temple Gate, Foodies Chase Me All Over the Country." It's a combination of food, slice-of-life, humor, good to watch while eating, no romantic pairing, and heartwarming. Each week, I randomly move to a different city and improve upon local specialties. The plot is funny, and the food descriptions are also quite good.
