Roadfood: The Coast-to-Coast Guide to 900 of the Best Barbecue Joints, Lobster Shacks, Ice Cream Parlors, Highway Diners, and Much, Much More, now in its 9th edition Description
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."
Now this indispensable guide is back, in an even bigger and better edition, covering 500 of the country's best local eateries from Maine to California. With more than 250 completely new listings and thorough 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 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.

If you are a fan of the Cooking Channel’s Guy Fieri and his program: Diners, Drive-ins & Dives, this book is a “must-have.” It would also be helpful if you travel, even if only occasionally. The book is a collection of over nine-hundred, “non-fine-dining” restaurants that each offers a unique, distinctly American eating adventure. Take it on the road with you in your travels. Look up the places that are listed in the book in the cities throughout all of the states you visit or pass through. Plan your destinations and road breaks accordingly. These visits can easily become fun, memorable, inexpensive experiences that you will carry with you for a lifetime. After browsing through my copy I found three restaurants each within an hour’s drive of my home that we never knew about. Our copy has now earned a permanently-respected place in the trunk of our car so that it will be with us in all of our travelling adventures and never forgotten at home.

I don't know if I would compare the Sterns to Guy Fieri -- to begin with, without the Sterns there would be no Guy Fieris or Andrew Zimmerns; they were the first people to write primarily about regional American cuisine (in the process, validating and popularizing it) and are still the best. While Fieri's schtick gets tiresome very quickly, the low-key Sterns are always fun to read and their suggestions are always worth checking out.
