North Carolina's Roadside Eateries

"Everyone's favorite Tar Heel is back with an updated and expanded edition of Roadside Eateries. Now there are even more restaurants and things to do for the interstate traveler. T. V. host and columnist D. G. Martin has spent years traveling the major roadways of North Carolina, on the lookout for community, local history, and, of course, a good home-cooked meal. Here D. G. is your personal tour guide to more than 100 notable local roadway haunts that serve not only as places to eat, but also as fixtures of their communities. A life-long North Carolinian, D. G. urges travelers-both the local and the just visiting-to forget the countless chain restaurants that dot our highways and to go just a little out of the way to find the most memorable roadside pit stops, including everything from BBQ joints and country kitchens to Mexican restaurants and the occasional Greek diner. From the mountains to the coast and everything in-between, D. G. not only highlights the best eats on the road, but reminds us of the human stories behind the ribs, fried chicken, and collards. Included are detailed and current contact information, hours, directions, and points of interest to explore after eating"- Provided by publisher.
