Southern Living Off the Eaten Path On The Road Again

Morgan Murphy and Southern Living jump back "on the road again" with the third helping of the Off the Eaten Path franchise, taking readers into some of the South's most tucked-away eateries throughout 16 Southern states in search of the next great find. On the Road Again truly captures the local feel and flair of the best off-road diners and independently owned restaurants from the Texas plains to the shores of the Gulf to the mountainous Carolinas. Featuring vibrant photography and on-the-road snapshots, Murphy gives readers a feel for the food and the true flavor of each place visited.

• On the Road Again tastes the South one state at a time, with 1 to 3 restaurants per state and 1 to 3 recipes per restaurant, plus insight into food, hotel, and shopping "bests" of each state.
• At each new stop, Morgan introduces readers to each restaurant, recipe, and attraction with his uniquely Southern humor and voice.
• Because life is too short for dull, Morgan showcases a restaurant in each state that's not just worth braking for but worth driving out of your way to try.
• In addition to more great food finds, in On the Road Again, Morgan gathers up not just the best recipes across the 16 Southern states, but also tracks down the finest, but often little known, culinary artisans along the way. Throughout the book, the author shares recipes and ordering info for these locally inspired indulgences.
