For me, Feasting started in 1969.
That was the year my parents had an opportunity to buy a small radio station not too far from the north Georgia town where they grew up. This might not have been such a shocking development had it not been for the fact that upon completion of their marrige vows they moved to southern California and made me. And there was no way I was moving to some hillbilly-infested, Appalachian backwater. Of course, when you're seven you don't have a lot of leverage, so one bright summer morning I found myself in the back of a Chrysler sedan with an aged Siamese cat and a coloring book.

Feasting on Asphalt: The River Run
Due in bookstores approx. March 26, 2008
Alton and crew are off on a thousand-mile south-to-north journey that follows America's first "super-highway" - the Mississippi. The crew travels by motorcycle along the heartland's byways to scout out the very best of roadside food - and to get to know the people who spend their lives preparing and serving it. The barbecue joints, doughnut parlors, museums, inns and markets offer up their best wares and stories, and even some long-secret recipes are shared in this travelogue.
