Book Review: Fun to read and cook from
Summary: 4 Stars
This book, quite obviously, features sandwiches - and a wealth of them! It is a recent publication (May 2007), but the design harkens back to eateries from the `50s and `60s. It truly reads as if you are sitting with a good friend while they tell you about all the best sandwiches they've ever eaten while traveling North America. The authors paint a vivid picture that more than makes up for the missing photos.
You get the history of the diner, the sandwich, or the proprietor, plus the recipes to recreate them at home. We thoroughly loved the Ham and Pear Crisp from Hell's Kitchen in Minneapolis MN. I've earmarked the Hoosier Tenderloin, the Green Tomato BLT, and Old-Fashioned Beer Battered Brains (just kidding on that last one!). Since it is easy to search the book by location, the next time I travel, I'll use it to seek out the best food.
Summary of Roadfood Sandwiches: Recipes and Lore from Our Favorite Shops Coast to Coast
Now you can re-create the best and most inventive sandwiches in America right in your own kitchen. In this eating tour of the nation, those gurus of the road, Jane and Michael Stern, hunt down nearly 100 examples of supreme sandwichery. You'll enjoy mouthwatering discoveries from nearly every state, from California (grilled Gruy?re with leeks on multigrain from a neighborhood bakery in Los Angeles) to Maine (an overflowing, warm lobster roll from a seaside diner) to Florida (a Cuban: ham, pork, Swiss, and garlicky salami with pickles, lettuce, and tomato). The Sterns have tracked down America's best muffuletta (cold cuts and cheese topped with a bold and briny olive salad on Italian bread) and the specialty of Louisville, Kentucky (the Hot Brown: white turkey meat under sizzling cheese with tomato and bacon), not to be confused with Hot Truck (a hot pizza sub baked open-face, a campus sensation in Ithaca, New York). Each of the legendary heroes, hoagies, wraps, grinders, blimps, gyros, and subs comes with its own quirky story, making this book as much fun to read as it is to cook from.General Books
