If you're tired of the usual truck stop fare, Roadfood.com tells you where to find local gems hidden along the highways and back roads of America. You'll find state-by-state listings of great regional meals cooked by America's shirt-sleeved culinary folk artists. These are the restaurants that through word-of-mouth have become local icons. The chefs wear grease-stained aprons instead of tall white hats and prepare delicious rib-sticking meals that keep the locals coming back for more -- without draining their wallets.
On Roadfood.com, you won't find snooty reviews by prissy newspaper gourmets talking about ambience and pastel table settings. This is no Zagat Survey. The reviews on Roadfood.com are written by ordinary folks like you and me -- truckers, salesmen, motorhome denizens and other fellow highway travelers. Comprehensive reviews rate the food and atmosphere (with reviewers favoring the eclectic), provide a "must eats" list of signature dishes with prices, and include a bit of local history. Mouth-watering pictures of popular dishes accompany each listing. Reviewers tell you whether they'd visit the restaurant again and, out of a possible 30, how many miles they'd drive to eat there.
You can access the listings and reviews on Roadfood.com free, and, with a brief free registration, can submit comments, reviews and photos. For a $19.95 annual subscription to Roadfood Insider you can download all of the site's reviews for printing or transferring to PDA, laptop or flash memory drive. Insider also provides internet interfaces that allow you to get directions to restaurants using online maps, Google Earth or GPS coordinates.
When you're on the road this week, check out Roadfood.com and sample one of America's great neighborhood eateries. You're guaranteed to find tasty food, interesting companions, and some colorful atmosphere to go with a great cup of coffee and a delicious slice of homemade pie. Sure beats a burger and fries on the back lot!
