Roadside food has always been a part of the classic American summer as much as the road trip vacation. The road trip vacation may have somewhat faded with rising gas prices, the quicken pace of American life and the search for the exotic and adventuresome. Roadside food, however, still remains and is easily found for those willing to exist the 70+ mph interstate and explore the many more scenic roads that crisscross America. Fresh vegetable stands, pick-your-own strawberries, barbeque stands, fresh crabs and lobsters, fresh watermelon, and - as pictured here - kettle corn. Kettle corn is in many ways the most American of snacks. Who could improve upon taking the icon grain that sustained the Pilgrims, proved the generosity of the American Indians, frying it in hot oil and then adding sugar to make it sweet!
This may be one subject where even my wife will not object to my pulling over for "just one more picture". Stay tuned for what other delights I can find off the road this summer.
