Publisher Comments:

The History and Recipes of America's Golden Age of Railroad Cuisine

Book News Annotation:

While food served in the dining cars of the great railroads may have lacked the excellence of a 4-star restaurant, the dining experience was unmatched. The scenery, eating en route, sitting with other passengers, all contributed to a delightful repast. Here is a history of railroad food and the development and operation of the dining car, and 200 pages of recipes.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 367-372) and index.
