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 Gruyere 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.

 No Pictures... April 30, 2007
32 out of 52 found this review helpful
I returned this book due to no pictures of the recipes. Not one picture on the inside. Some of the sandwiches sounded yummy and/or interesting (such as the peanut butter and bacon). However, many of the recipe ingredient lists were too long to justify making a sandwich. I love sandwiches, but I don't want to spend time making homemade sauces or olive spread for them. Too much effort for what should be a simple meal.

I've been a fan of Jane and Michael Stern for 20+ years. I read all their articles in Gourmet up until Gourmet became nothing but a shill for the advertisers. "Roadfood Sandwiches" is nothing but a re-hash (no pun intended) of their last edition of "Roadfood". The new info in "...Sandwiches" is minimal at best. I suggest you skip "...Sandwiches" and instead buy "Roadfood". It contains the bulk of "...Sandwiches" and much more. They really skated on this one.
Pull off the Road! For good. September 7, 2007

I love cookbooks, especially books on foods I can actually make, like sandwiches. I know of the Sterns through their website, and TV appearances and previous books and picked this one up because the cover was appealing. I was very disappointed. There were tons of recipes and for each recipe a little story about its origins and where the Sterns had eaten it, but no pictures. I know, you don't need a picture to make a recipe, but I have to say if you are going to do a cookbook on sandwiches you have found throughout the nation wouldn't it be nice to see the establishment? Or even the sandwich itself? Also the color of the pages threw me off, and they were very hard to read. The Sterns have made a living on Roadfood, but I think their journey needs to end if this is what we are getting for their efforts.
 Recipes look good, but dissappointed that there's no pictures. July 12, 2007

This really would have been a fabulous book if they'd have put PICTURES in it! I wanted to know right off the bat where the recipe was for the sandwich featured on the cover, (that looks like a sandwich I wanna try!) -and couldn't find it. I'm thinking it may be the "Will Special" on page 229. At least on the back cover, (two pictures there)it references the name and page numbers.
Other than no pictures, it looks like a good book. For each sandwich recipe, it gives you a little information about it and where it's from. There are condiment recipes.
There are several things I'm going to try from the book. Pictures would have made the book much easier and more pleasant to use.
 Home run for the Sterns.....again!! May 13, 2007

Whatever the Sterns write, I buy. I wish they would go back to their restaurant books again. They never did one from the Northwest....not fair.
