Sadly, some of the best American restaurants no longer exist, but their unique fare can still be enjoyed. Part vintage nostalgia, part history tour, this illustrated collection of recipes—often inseparable from their legendary haunts—were meticulously researched and reconstructed by Jaya Saxena. Now you can experience the legendary institutions of the American restaurant landscape from coast to coast, including the Baked Cannelloni at Paoli's in San Francisco, the Blintzes from Ashkenaz Deli in Chicago, and the Fried Fish Cakes at Horn & Hardart Automat in Philadelphia.
