Chili buns from the Shop-N-Cart in Lily, Kentucky

Michael Stern was rattling down dusty backroads on the hunt for roadfood before many of us were born. He and his wife Jane make a formidable writing pair, and have had a 40-plus year-long career penning books on the forgotten, and undersung mom and pop diners across the U.S.

I bought their first Roadfood book before I was old enough to legally drive a car, and I still own it to this day.
