Editorial Reviews
Route 66Magazine, Summer 1997
Fascinating archival, as well as contemporary photographs of operating restaurants, reveal the nation-wide attraction to yesterday's legendary fast-food hangouts. Packed with history and folklore, Drive-In Deluxe includes chapters on carhops and curbside service, drive-in collectibles and memorabilia, fantastic architecture, and how the hamburger conquered America.
From the Author
The idea for "Drive-In Deluxe" sizzled to life a short while after the publication of "The American Drive-In" (my first best-selling book about curb service dining). Since I had so many great photographs and so much cool memorabilia left over from the first project, I thought, why not do another book? I decided to focus this version on tasty images--full-color, saturated photographs depicting flamboyant carhops, favorite foods, amazing architecture, and what the future holds for roadside food. Check it out: I'm sure that even the hungriest fan of roadside food will pull out of the parking lot satisfied!
