Jane and Michael Stern extoll the virtues of fiery chicken at Prince's Hot Chicken Shack of Nashville, TN during this weekend's appearance on Lynne Rossetto Kasper's The Splendid Table.  If you can't catch the show on radio, listen to it online.

Jane and Michael Stern's segment with Lynne Rossetto Kasper this weekend on public radio's The Splendid Table features Rhoda's Famous Hot Tamales of Lake Village, AR.  If you can't catch the show, you can listen to this discussion here.

The new Roadfood book is out, and newspaper editors all over the country are leafing through it to find the local spots that made the cut.  The Des Moines Register spoke with Michael Stern by phone about Iowa's Roadfood eateries, and Roadfood in general.  Our favorite quote by Michael: "food in a cultural vacuum is of no interest."  And, as so often happens, the Register refers to Jane as Jan.  Sorry, Jane; you just don't seem like a Jan to us.

Several years ago comedian Bill Kirchenbauer put together a pilot for a "Road Food" television program.  None of the networks picked up on the idea from what I can only assume that he was ahead of his time.  Today you will find several shows on the Travel Channel and Food Network covering the same material.

Bill will be joining us at Threadgill's on Friday night of the Roadfood eating tour.  Registered users of Roadfood.com can still pickup tickets.
