For even the most diehard fans, it's often difficult to pinpoint exactly why we love Mad Men, perhaps because what sets the show apart is its subtlety. If you've seen even a handful of episodes you know that, like a truly well made Old Fashioned, nothing about it comes on too strong. The food on the show is no exception. From what Betty Draper serves while entertaining her husband's partners to what's on the menu at the old New York restaurants they haunt, the food and drink on Mad Men adds another layer of cultural nuance to the show. Happily, every canape, chile relleno and deviled egg has been assembled into the The Unofficial Mad Men Cookbook -- a collection of recipes and historical context for nearly every bite or sip consumed on the show.
