Customer Reviews

A fun book to read!
I bought this book for my husband and we both love it! There are several pictures of Route 66 locations along with pictures of bikers. The stories are fun to read and give you an insight as to the different restaurants that are mentioned in the book. There are several great recipes. I have made Fred and Red's Chili several times as well as Funk's Grove Maple Sirup Bars which are fantastic! There is also a section titled "Hog Handbook" which covers such topics as "Biker Speak"; "Biker Mother Road Essentials"; "Biker Pit Stops - A list of authorized Harley-Davidson dealers located on the Mother Road in the eight Route 66 states"; "Biker Mother Road Test"; "Biker Celebs"; "Biker Tunes for the Mother Road"; "Food Festival Fun on Route 66"; and "Route 66 Associations". If you are looking for another good Route 66 book by Michael Wallis, you won't be disappointed with this one.

Recipe book
If you're into recipe's of the road, then this is it. Actual road history & pics make up less the 50%. If you want to learn about the road, find another. Not worth the money.
