Diners, Drive-ins and Dives: An All-American Road Trip . . . with Recipes! (Food Network)

By Guy Fieri, Ann Volkwein

Packed with Guy’s iconic personality, Diners, Drive-ins and Dives follows his hot-rod trips around the country, mapping out the best places most of us have never heard of. From digging in at legendary burger joint the Squeeze Inn in Sacramento, California, baking Peanut Pie from Virginia Diner in Wakefield, Virginia, or kicking back with Pete’s “Rubbed and Almost Fried” Turkey Sandwich from Panini Pete’s in Fairhope, Alabama, Guy showcases the amazing personalities, fascinating stories, and outrageously good food offered by these American treasures.

Cookbooks are my love, I don’t get to cook that often but still collect them. I got this book thinking it would just be another one for the collection, but after going through it – more than a few times – I have flagged several recipes to try. I was really excited to find the recipe for fried dill pickles – I love these and try to find them when we travel through the south. There were a couple of recipes using the smoker also that will be tried soon, most likely over the holidays. A few of the recipes were a bit overwhelming, either in ingredients or in steps, but were still interesting to read through. I would recommend this to all cookbook collectors, cooks and/or fans of the show.
