Culinary Road Trips
Discover Exceptional Food Stops and Culinary Trails Across America This Fall
Anonymous
Food-focused road trips can offer more than familiar regional specialties, from Tennessee’s fall festivals, distilleries and restaurant scene to playful California roadside markets and attractions. In Ohio, delis and sandwich shops make a strong case for a detour, pairing rotating or traditional soups with Reubens, grilled cheese and other sandwiches. Chefs also recommend practical highway favorites, including Buc-ee’s candied nuts and Southern gas-station fried chicken and gizzards. Together, the recommendations frame local food stops as destinations in their own right and a welcome way to break up a drive.
