stories.”

dishes.”

“This wonderful collection of America’s Classics award winners is
so true to James Beard’s spirit, and shows the deep affection and
respect we all share for hard-working mom-and-pop cooks.”

“We were lucky enough to have spent time with James Beard who was a
passionate advocate of the food of this nation in an era when the
press wrote only about the cooking of France and Italy. Jim
encouraged our earliest Roadfood adventures, and we know that this
handsome book would have made him smile. It is a perfect homage to
American food at its best.”
—Jane and Michael Stern, authors of Roadfood

"If you’re like us and you plan your vacations around the best po’
boys in New Orleans or green chile cheeseburgers in Santa Fe, then
this is the book for you. The James Beard Foundation, which
basically gives out the Pulitzers of the food world, has a special
award for classic American eateries, which showcase the best of our
regional culinary traditions. And if we can’t visit them all in
person, having their favorite recipes is a pretty good consolation
prize."

"James Beard’s All-American Eats is an amazing introduction to
America’s vernacular cuisine and restaurants which have honored by
the James Beard Foundation. Not many people can visit all of these
vernacular restaurants and enjoy food but James Beard’s
All-American Eats makes it possible for you to cook those
delicious recipes in your kitchen. You will love this cookbook as
much as you love international and vernacular cuisine."
