We learned from Susan Guyett's column in Indystar.com that Saveur's July issue revisits classic American restaurants from the Duncan Hines guidebooks of decades long past. The story is fun Roadfood-style reading. The fried chicken at Roadfood favorite Hollyhock Hill, of Indianapolis, must have impressed the editors: it graces Saveur's cover! Michael Stern, in his Roadfood.com review, says "this chicken is skillet-fried and wonderful, served with pan gravy." The issue also includes a recipe for turkey noodle soup from the Strongbow Inn of Valparaiso, another old-time Roadfood pick that hasn't made its way into the more recent Roadfood books, or the website. Other Roadfooderies visited: Boone Tavern of Kentucky (like the Strongbow, not listed by the Sterns in many years) and The Pine Club of Ohio.
