Book Log 2006 #41: Two for the Road by Jane and Michael Stern
Writers of a regular column in Gourmet magazine and founders of Roadfood.com, the Sterns have made a career out of eating at roadside diners, small-town breakfast places, and sleepy cafes. This book chronicles how they got started, some of their favorite places, and all of the things they've loved about their career in food. Not that it's all fun and games; their car often doubled as their bedroom (at least in the early days), and eating 12 meals a day can get difficult. I'm just amazed that they're apparently still in good health.
This is their 31st book, and I now want to read the other 30. They write with a clear joy for the subject, and are as entertainingly observant about people and places as they are about their favorite (or least favorite) dishes.
If you like good regional food, and you've got some free time now that you've seen all of Feasting on Asphalt, check this book out.
