My Review: I was so excited to find this book available when I went for a new review copy! I am always looking for those hidden places where you can get the very best of something...especially food! When the book arrived, the cover alone made me want to go out and grab some ribs! As I began reading the book, my mouth was watering just thinking of the future places I would be hitting during road trips with our kids. Now in it's 9th edition, I was very excited to see places in our area that are listed and in my hometown where my parents still live. I may just let them in on my new found "secrets" of the best places to dine on the simplest (and complex) of great food! From Barbecue to Lobster, to Ice Cream and even chef fixed formal meals, this book has it all!!! I can't wait to dive in......oh, the book is finished, I mean the food!
