Roadfood, 10th Edition: An Eater’s Guide to More Than 1,000 of the Best Local Hot Spots and Hidden Gems Across America

First published in 1977, the original Roadfood became an instant classic. James Beard
said, This is a book that you should carry with you, no matter where you are going
in these United States. It’s a treasure house of information.

The 40th anniversary edition of Roadfood includes 1,000 of America’s best local eateries along highways and back roads, with nearly 200 new listings, as well as a brand new design.

Filled with enticing alternatives for chain-weary-travelers, Roadfood provides
descriptions of and directions to (complete with regional maps) 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.
