Jane and Michael Stern have been traveling throughout the U.S. looking for the best food America has to offer.  In their new book, 500 Things to Eat Before It’s Too Late, the couple scours every nook and cranny of each state to find the best burger, hot dog, blueberry pie, chile relleno and the list goes on.  This is not San Pellegrino’s Top 50 best restaurants; it’s down home classic American cooking.  Of course this list is subjective to their tastes and experiences but they have been on the road for thirty years so I trust their opinion.  This book is a testament to the incredible food culture the United States has.  People often think that all we serve is hamburgers and pizza, but the truth is that our country is so large that every region has its own specialty.  This is often the case for every country but for some reason or another The United States is not viewed as such.  Use this book as a guide to exploring our diverse cuisine.  Whether you are going on a road trip or visiting a new place for the weekend, Jane and Michael Stern will have a few delicious recommendations.
