Breaking the Chain began with Allyson Reedy wanting to eat better-tasting, more adventurous food. After watching friends, family, and strangers eat unsatisfactory meal after meal at chain restaurants and get fatter as a result, she wondered how we could break this chain of mediocrity, obesity, and commercialism. So in 2009, Allyson Reedy stopped eating meals, snacks, and goodies from the kinds of restaurants that line America's streets and dominate our stomachs. This food memoir chronicles her year-long experience as she sought out local alternatives to the fast food we've come to rely upon.
Breaking the Chain is Fast Food Nation (Eric Schlosser) told from Carrie Bradshaw's point of view (if she loved manicotti as much as Manolos). Allyson shares the good and bad effects of her experiment, including passing up on her food rituals like an office breakfasts of bagels and donuts, her break from social customs, the inconvenience on friends, support for her neighbors and local food community, the discovery of new favorite foods, saving money, and ultimately, weight loss.

I paid a few dollars for this book because I was interested in the topic. I dislike the quality of chain restaurant food. I enjoyed the data and research presented. The writing stylr itself is engaging and light. I personally did not enjoy the actual personal anecdotes (the book is 90% anecdotal experience). The author is an odious woman. I read the whole thing, but her constant reference to her "long suffering personal chef" husband and her own depiction of her bratty and dramatic behavior left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I never leave negative reviews. But my god, this woman is repellent.Product details

Breaking the Chain How I Banned Chain Restaurants from My Diet and Went from Full to Fulfilled (Audible Audio Edition) Allyson Reedy Melanie Haynes Audible Studios Books Reviews
The only good thing about this book is the fact that the author saw some light - It is unbelievable that someone can go through life eating mostly take-out foods, no wonder she lost some weight. Should rather invest in a cooking course.
Allyson Reedy is the Bill Bryson of food writing! Charming, funny, and really enjoyable, I hope her story will inspire more people to embark on their own culinary adventures.
I loved this book! What a great idea, giving up chain restaurants for a whole year!! And who knew it would be so hard to freaking GET AWAY FROM THEM!? I loved how she took readers through the year and even let us know when she strayed/messed up! Thank you for this insightful read!
I really enjoyed reading about her experiment with avoiding chain restaurants. She has a very enjoyable and readable style of writing.
I was surprised she just didn't pack her lunch or other meal more. That would be my only qausi complaint about the book.Overall I thought it was a very good read. She could come across as complaining but it was just her sense of humor.
I'd love to give this 5 stars as it was engaging and entertaining, but the last 20% or so of the book just lost me. I it felt like all soapbox/ rant, and and just repetitive.. I do believe in the idea of eating local and primarily do. I'd recommend this book to anyone who has enjoys knowing more about where their food comes to from.
I'm passionate about good food and eating well, so Allyson Reedy's adventures in avoiding chain restaurants seemed like it would be right up my literary alley. And I was right; the book definitely did not disappoint. Not only am I inspired to always try my hardest to seek out the best of the culinary world (be it an upscale eatery or, more often, those independently owned hole-in-the-wall establishments), her writing had me laughing out loud throughout the book. Breaking the Chain is well worth your time; it's an enjoyable read with a lot of heart as well as humor. Wonderful first book - I sure hope she'll be writing many more to come!
