Book Reviews of Roadfood: Revised Edition

Book Review: Not as good as I expected
Summary: 3 Stars

This 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. First, I noted that there are very few restaurants listed in Colorado. Coverage in this book is very uneven. 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. There really isn't much near I-70, We managed to find the Goody Goody Diner (notable for excellent root beer) in St. Louis because we happened to have a very detailed map of the city. We never found another place that looked promising for our next meal -- apparently we turned the wrong way on the highway and the street numbering along it was odd and discontinuous.

Summary of Roadfood: Revised Edition

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.
