Editor's Review ★★★☆★

AudioBook Atlas

Listening to 'Choice Cuts' is like sitting down to a well-curated dinner party, where each course is a story from history, served with a side of culinary trivia. The narration is a standout feature, with each narrator bringing a different energy to the table. Josephine Bailey's soothing voice is perfect for the more serious historical moments, while Ed Begley Jr. adds a folksy charm to the lighter, anecdotal sections. Constance Towers' elegant delivery is a delightful surprise, adding a touch of sophistication to the proceedings. The pacing is excellent, with each chapter feeling like a satisfying course in a multi-course meal. My only critique is that the transitions between narrators could be a bit smoother, but overall, this is a feast for the ears that history buffs and foodies alike will enjoy.
