Since its publication in 1998, “The $100 Hamburger- A Guide to Pilot’s Favorite Fly-In Restaurants” has become more than a book. It is a cultural phenomenon felt far outside its intended target market, general aviation owner pilots. Virtually every aviation magazine has written about the book. The April 2001 edition of Plane& Pilot referred to it as “general aviation’s version of the Zagat Guide”. The November 2001 edition of Flying pointed it out to “Fly-in diners intent on finding decent $100 Hamburgers.” The mainstream media has covered as well. The July 26, 2001 edition of The Wall Street Journal featured an above the fold, front page article of 23 column inches. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, The Boston Globe, The Chicago Tribune and others had written flattering feature articles on our book over the life of the next edition. The book’s companion website clocks over 450,000 site visits per month. Each week it receives 50 to 100 updates (PIREPs) from our pilot readers. These PIREPs affect over 80% of the sites reported on in the book. New restaurants have opened, some restaurants and even some airports have closed. Today only twenty percent of the data from the current edition is fully accurate. The new edition will feature over 80% new content – new restaurants, new airports, and completely updated reports on both from pilots all over the US, Canada, and the UK.

From the Author
The $100 Hamburger is a travel guide for private pilots. It is updated everyday.The best of all worlds is to keep a copy of the $100 Hamburger in your flight bag and to periodically check the WEBsite for revisions.

and have even given it to a fellow aviator as well. It's great for weekend trips, although I'd still recommend asking around the FBO where you fuel or tie down. Some info was out of date, but overall it's a fun book to use!

Excellent book... broken down into each individual state and then each city within that state that has an airport. Gives you places to eat at each of those... This is the third edition of the book. All come from pilots reports... Great book and for a small fee you can join the actual online site and keep up to date on the additions submitted.
Great Book for pilots and student pilots looking for ideas on where to take cross country trips to for good food.

Would have like it better if the book was more up to date. The website isn't really kept up much better since he won't allow dates on the comments.
Regardless, this is still the standard for finding restaurants close to airports.
