So you think Guy Fiere has visited and reviewed a lot of eateries across the country. Jane and Michael have put together a book that describes a wider range of restaurants and types of food in the cities and off-beat places of the country. If you like road trips to find that spot with great and sometimes different food, Roadfood is a must for you.
