Editorial Review: Product Description: 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. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not as good as I expectedThis is a famous book. I bought it in some haste, without examining it closely, before driving from Colorado to Washington, DC last Fall, via I-70.

Then, given the organization of the book, it is very tedious to find the restaurants along a route like I-70. As another critical reviewer noted, the maps and directions to the places are poor, and they tend to be concentrated in big cities. ... Read More Rating:  - Taking a road trip?

It is a great way to get off the beaten path, mingle with locals, save money, and eat great food. I own every book the Sterns have written, but this is my favorite.The Complete Guide to the Ultimate Family Road Trip Rating: - A great food research guide when planning a trip!!How many times have you gone on vacation and you end up at some tourist trap (Hardrock Cafe,Planet Hollywood,ect...) eating the WORST food on earth?

Read More Rating: - WARNING: You'll finish your vacation weighing more than you started with!I remember reading a much earlier edition of this guide, probably the original not-thick volume published in 1978. I've always traveled a lot, doing genealogical research, and that pursuit takes one more often into small towns than big cities. Everyplace you go now, it seems, the fast food chains have completely taken over, but there actually are plenty of mouth-watering one-of-a-kind eateries left, if you get lucky -- or if you read this book. This edition includes some 600 establishments (200 more ...
