Roadfood by Jane and Michael Stern is
“a cross-country culinary guide that should be stashed in every food lover’s glove compartment.”—People magazine

Now in its sixth edition, Roadfood has been called “a bible for motorists seeking mouth-watering barbecue or homemade pie” by USA Today. This indispensable guide is bigger and better than ever, covering nearly 600 of the country’s best local eateries from Maine to California. With more than 175 completely new listings and updates of old favorites, the new Roadfood offers an extended tour of the most affordable, most enjoyable dining options along America’s highways and back roads.

Filled with enticing alternatives for chain-weary travelers, Roadfood provides vivid descriptions and regional maps that direct readers to the best lobster shacks on the East Coast; the ultimate barbecue joints down South; the most indulgent steak houses in the Midwest; and dozens of top-notch diners, hotdog stands, ice-cream parlors, and uniquely regional finds in between. Each entry delves into the folkways of a restaurant’s locale as well as the dining experience itself, and each is written in the Sterns’ entertaining and colorful style. A cornucopia for road warriors and armchair epicures alike, Roadfood is a road map to some of the tastiest treasures in the United States.

I really like this cookbook, because it is so unique. It's full of "home cookin" recipes, just what I was looking for.

I tested the roadfood book by Jane Stern on my last trip to Oregon and I was not disapointed! The razor clams (for breakfast)as recommended at Camp 18 in Elsie were delicious,and the cinnamon roll that we got to go was humungous.The little seafood restaurant Dan and Louies tucked away in the heart of Portland is not to be missed! Roadfood will not lead you down the wrong road, Enjoy!

Whenever we travel, we consult Jane and Michael Stern's excellent "Road Food" a guide to some great eats. They have steered us to some wonderful barbecue in the South, incredible lobster rolls in Maine, outstanding burgers in the Midwest, and some of the best desserts we have ever had. Over the years their tips and insights have helped keep many small, mom-and-pop operations alive.

If you are sick of the mainstreamed, homogenized, corporate food of the national chains, this guide will help you find the true dining gems.

Long live slow food!

When planning a road trip .. First use the Atlas .. Then pick up this Roadfood book and hit all the places along the way. Have a suggestion? Submit it to the Roadfood Web Site and chances are, they will visit it and include your suggestion in Volume 3.
Just take the Stern's advise and call ahead, many places have "local" hours.
