Eight books on dining, drive-ins, and road trips

One of eight top books on dining, drive-ins, and road trips, as tagged at Kirkus Reviews:
THE POTLIKKER PAPERS: A FOOD HISTORY OF THE MODERN SOUTH by John T. Edge

From the Kirkus review:
Without question, this is a book for foodies, but it is also for readers who may be indifferent to the food they consume yet care deeply about regionalism, individual health, and race relations, among other themes.
The director of the Southern Foodways Alliance at the University of Mississippi recounts the past 60 years of Southern food traditions, their effects on the South's culture, and vice versa.
Read about the other books on the list.
