I just read "America Eats" - from the Library. Don't need to buy it.
it's not a keeper. I've been reading Jane and Michael Stern since the
70s. Been thru at least three editions of "Roadfood". North Dakota
to the Jersey Shore and ND to Ohio more times than I can count. I'm
going to get a copy of "500 Things to Eat before it's Too Late"!
