“Roadfood” Authors Chart a Course for Food Travelers
I travel a lot for work and find most of the country outside of big cities homogenous in terms of food offerings. Strip malls, Starbucks and Applebee’s, sadly, define a lot of this country’s dining experience.
So I was thrilled to see that a completely crazy but food-loving couple has compiled a book detailing their off-beat food experiences across the country.
From a WSJ review of their book:
At a time when big restaurant chains seem more ubiquitous than ever, “Roadfood” authors Jane and Michael Stern continue to focus on the quirky all-American food haunts. In their latest guide, “500 Things to Eat Before It’s Too Late,” their advice ranges from the best hot fried chicken (Keaton’s Barbecue in Cleveland, N.C.) to whoopee pies (Harraseeket Lunch and Lobster in Freeport, Maine)…
The Sterns began charting America’s regional eateries in 1978 with the publication of their first book, “Roadfood.” They now write a column for Gourmet magazine, manage the Web site Roadfood.com and have authored more than 40 books. The couple divorced in 2008, but that has not prevented them from working together.
