Editorial Review: Product Description: Now you can re-create the best and most inventive sandwiches in America right in your own kitchen. In this eating tour of the nation, those gurus of the road, Jane and Michael Stern, hunt down nearly 100 examples of supreme sandwichery. You'll enjoy mouthwatering discoveries from nearly every state, from California (grilled Gruyère with leeks on multigrain from a neighborhood bakery in Los Angeles) to Maine (an overflowing, warm lobster roll from a seaside diner) to Florida (a Cuban: ham, pork, Swiss, and garlicky salami with pickles, lettuce, and tomato). The Sterns have tracked down America's best muffuletta (cold cuts and cheese topped with a bold and briny olive salad on Italian bread) and the specialty of Louisville, Kentucky (the Hot Brown: white turkey meat under sizzling cheese with tomato and bacon), not to be confused with Hot Truck (a hot pizza sub baked open-face, a campus sensation in Ithaca, New York). Each of the legendary heroes, hoagies, wraps, grinders, blimps, gyros, and subs comes with its own quirky story, making this book as much fun to read as it is to cook from. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great Sandwich bookIt took me a while to decide to buy this book. "Do you really need a cookbook to make sandwiches?" I was asked more than once. Well, just to make sandwiches, no. But this book is so much more. It really is a book about regional differences, which so many critics like to insist are all but dead. I am originally from Pennsylvania and now live in Alaska and have travelled widely all over the country for a job, and I can tell you that America's regions are alive and well, and moreover, are eating ... Read More Rating: - Fun to read and cook fromThis book, quite obviously, features sandwiches - and a wealth of them! It is a recent publication (May 2007), but the design harkens back to eateries from the `50s and `60s. It truly reads as if you are sitting with a good friend while they tell you about all the best sandwiches they've ever eaten while traveling North America. The authors paint a vivid picture that more than makes up for the missing photos. You get the history of the diner, the sandwich, or the proprietor, plus the recipes ...

Rating: - Sometimes good things come............. without picturesI borrowed this book form the library and I too was disappointed that it didn't have picture. Like so many other people I enjoy eating with my eyes. I tossed it aside at first. In a bored moment, i went back to it. Not only did i find the stories entertaining, I could see potential in the recipes as well. Since I have made several of the sandwiches from it and they have turned out wonderful. You do have to spend a bit of time reading the recipes in the beginning to familiarize yourself with it, but ... Read More Rating:  - Low Budget AffairSandwiches are one of my favorite things in the world, so when I heard that the professors of roadfood were writing a sandwich book, I was thrilled. Like "Roadfood", however, I was disappointed. There are NO pictures at all in this book. What kind of a cookbook has ZERO pictures in it??? Now that they are successful authors (book and magazine, btw), I would expect something a little more upscale from the Sterns.
