Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. American food enthusiasts Jane and Michael Stern (Roadfood) are back, this time sharing their favorite sandwiches served at their favorite restaurants across the U.States. Why focus solely on sandwiches?: "What could be more truly democratically American than a meal at which you don't have to worry about which fork to use or what wine to serve?" The Sterns offer up recipes as well as extensive history because they believe "that a sandwich is far more interesting when you know who makes it, who invented it, who eats it, and where and how it's served." They list traditional sandwiches unique to specific regions like the Hot Brown of Kentucky ("white turkey meat under a spill of sizzling cheese sauce, slices of tomato, and strips of bacon, all piled on toast") as well as more inventive, unusual combos like Peanut Butter and Bacon served at Becky's Diner in Portland, Maine. The Sterns passionately describe each sandwich in a playful and enticing manner: of the Catfish Po' Boy from Middendorf's in Akers, La., "breaded in cornmeal and fried, the ultra thin strips knot into crunchy curlicues and bows like pale gold bunting." Both fun and informative, this book is a delight. (May)

Roadhouse Sandwiches.,
By
This review is from: Roadfood Sandwiches: Recipes and Lore from Our Favorite Shops Coast to Coast (Paperback)
If you like "brain" (literally!!!!) sandwiches you'll like this book.I was expecting ideas for sandwiches that could be made easily, but had ingredients that I couldn't think of myself. Brains is not an ingredient I will use!! I would not recommend it.

Re-hash,
By John A. Lazar - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Roadfood Sandwiches: Recipes and Lore from Our Favorite Shops Coast to Coast (Paperback)
I've been a fan of Jane and Michael Stern for 20+ years. I read all their articles in Gourmet up until Gourmet became nothing but a shill for the advertisers. "Roadfood Sandwiches" is nothing but a re-hash (no pun intended) of their last edition of "Roadfood". The new info in "...Sandwiches" is minimal at best. I suggest you skip "...Sandwiches" and instead buy "Roadfood". It contains the bulk of "...Sandwiches" and much more. They really skated on this one.

Low Budget Affair,
By songoose - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Roadfood Sandwiches: Recipes and Lore from Our Favorite Shops Coast to Coast (Paperback)
Sandwiches are one of my favorite things in the world, so when I heard that the professors of roadfood were writing a sandwich book, I was thrilled. Like "Roadfood", however, I was disappointed. There are NO pictures at all in this book. What kind of a cookbook has ZERO pictures in it??? Now that they are successful authors (book and magazine, btw), I would expect something a little more upscale from the Sterns.

Pull off the Road! For good.,
By Sushi Girl -Laura - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Roadfood Sandwiches: Recipes and Lore from Our Favorite Shops Coast to Coast (Paperback)
I love cookbooks, especially books on foods I can actually make, like sandwiches. I know of the Sterns through their website, and TV appearances and previous books and picked this one up because the cover was appealing. I was very disappointed. There were tons of recipes and for each recipe a little story about its origins and where the Sterns had eaten it, but no pictures. I know, you don't need a picture to make a recipe, but I have to say if you are going to do a cookbook on sandwiches you have found throughout the nation wouldn't it be nice to see the establishment? Or even the sandwich itself? Also the color of the pages threw me off, and they were very hard to read. The Sterns have made a living on Roadfood, but I think their journey needs to end if this is what we are getting for their efforts.
