Inhaltsangabe:
Jakle (geography, U. of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign) and Sculle (history, U. of Illinois, Springfield) explore the origins, architecture, and commercial growth of wayside eateries in the United States over the past 100 years, analyzing the impact of the automobile on the restaurant business and the ways that these businesses reflect the story of modern American culture. They cover the evolution of the American restaurant from coffee shops and main street cafes, to early franchises such as White Castle and the current dominance of corporations such as McDonald's.
