Editorial Review:
Roadfood by Jane and Michael Stern is
“a cross-country culinary guide that should be stashed in every food lover’s glove compartment.”—People magazineNow 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.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Not as good as I expected
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. ... Read More
Rating:  - Taking a road trip? This is your Bible!
Take it from someone who has taken over 20 U.S. road trips
to 48 states - This is my Bible! I don't go anywhere without
taking along this book. It is a great way to get off the
beaten path, mingle with locals, save money, and eat great
food. I own every book the Sterns have written, but this is
my favorite.The Complete Guide to the Ultimate Family Road Trip

Rating: - WARNING: You'll finish your vacation weighing more than you started with!
I remember reading a much earlier edition of this guide, probably the original not-thick volume published in 1978. I've always traveled a lot, doing genealogical research, and that pursuit takes one more often into small towns than big cities. Everyplace you go now, it seems, the fast food chains have completely taken over, but there actually are plenty of mouth-watering one-of-a-kind eateries left, if you get lucky -- or if you read this book. This edition includes some 600 establishments (200 more ... Read More
Rating:  - It is not a road trip without road food
No matter where you live, if you're looking for some unusual, fun and funky places to eat, Roadfood by Jane and Michael Stern will give you all the recommendations you need. This book is written so that you "road warriors" can find endless amounts of tasty treasures.
For example, if you're longing for lobster - or clams, mussels, shrimp or oysters - then head on down to Abbott's Lobster in the Rough in Noank, Connecticut. Bring a bottle of your favorite wine - and your own tablecloth - and ... Read More
