Summary: The best history of railroad dining cars
Comment: To those who travel by plane today "food service" is the stuff of jokes. If you love food and travel pick up this book. The railroad dining car was the best place to eat in town - whatever town it happened to be in at that moment!
You will find the recipes easy to use and interesting to explore. There are multiple recipes for French Toast - our family has come to use the Santa Fe recipe often.
Rating: 5
Summary: Great slice of American history
Comment: Although my best friend called me a "weirdo" for reading this book, I'm glad I did.
"Railroad dining" may sound like arcane history, but there is a lot of information about general railroad history, design and maintenance in addition to the fascinating history of passenger service. George Pullman is now one of my heroes.
The recipes themselves are a fascinating look at what was "fancy" back in the early 1900's. Lots of game meat, fish, no vegetable or ethnic entrees. I'm not sure if I'll ever make anything out of this book, but some of them do look good.
If you're a railfan or a foodie (or both, like me), get this book. Very well researched and written.
