Description:

Join Dan as he tours the twelve states of the Heartland, exploring their food traditions and bountiful harvests--and, of course, sampling meals prepared by world-class cooks along the way. Gorgeous photography and evocative text bring travelers to the table, where they will taste the cuisine of today's top chefs as well as local specialties at tried-and-true small-town cafes. Some stops are places visitors have heard of; others are hidden gems. All are recommended for their fantastic food and distinctive character. Dan gives directions to palate-pleasers across Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.

Abundant recipes from the Midwest are included to inspire and satisfy the home cook. But this road trip isn't all about eating--visitors can also choose sides in the fried chicken wars of Kansas, make Amish shoofly pie in Indiana, tour a vinegar museum in South Dakota or a dairy farm in Wisconsin, learn about the legend of Norwegian lutefisk in Minnesota, and so much more. In addition, each chapter includes a calendar of events to alert readers to fairs, festivals, and quirky food-related events that occur in each state. And for armchair travelers, Dan supplies practical information for obtaining mail-order delights from food purveyors across the region.
