Peach Street to Lobster Lane

'A glorious freewheel through the culinary quirks and delights of the USA - an unmissable treat!' - Tim Spector

When the nation's 'taster-in-chief' Felicity Cloake announced her dream to cycle across America, the reactions were ... mixed: 'You'll die,' warned a Californian colleague. 'You'll be murdered,' added her mum. Friends panicked: 'But ... what will you eat?'

Determined to prove there's more to American cuisine than the cartoonish glamour of burgers and doughnuts (though she tries those too), Felicity embarks on the ultimate coast-to-coast adventure, tackling America's highways, byways and pieways by bike in election year, counting campaign flags and uncovering local favourites such as crawfish boil and sauerkraut balls. From Memphis barbecue to Mission burritos, Italian beef to Tex-Mex-Chinese breakfast dumplings, she dives headfirst into iconic American dishes and the fascinating stories and journeys behind them.

Drawn to the sheer scale, boundless energy and rich contrasts of a country as complex as its cuisine, Felicity takes us along for the ride in the very best way - mile by mile, meal by meal. Funny, surprising and irresistibly mouth-watering, Peach Street to Lobster Lane is the ultimate freewheeling foodie adventure.
