Cook up iconic dishes from all along Route 66 in the comfort of your own kitchen.
Fuel up with the “world’s best” coffee and donut holes at Lou Mitchell’s in downtown Chicago and then cruise into Doc’s Soda Fountain in Girard for a fizzy Green River phosphate. The tiger stripe fudge in Uranus, Missouri, doesn’t disappoint, but you best save room for the Big Texan seventy-two-ounce steak challenge in Amarillo. Bop into Midpoint Caf? in Adrian for a slice of ugly crust pie and then ready yourself for a fiesta of flavors in New Mexico, from prickly pear margaritas to poblanos rellenos. Arizona’s Hualapai Lodge serves up pi?on stew, rich with tradition, just like the comforting bowl of chili you can dig into at Barney’s Beanery in Santa Monica, the end of the road.
Author Amy Bizzarri serves up recipes–each paired with a side of history–that capture the essence of the classic diners, cozy chili parlors, welcoming inns, old-school soda shops, tasty burger joints, and unforgettable dive bars that have fueled generations of travelers.
