Roadfood is the best guide to road trip food hands down. Now a website, the guide was originally a book that came out in 1977 when the writers Jane and Michael Stern started documenting American regional food. Then it turned into a magazine column in Gourmet, and several more books, and now it's a huge online database of regional meals along highways, in small towns and in city neighborhoods.

All that is to say, pick one meal [or a bunch?] near you, and make it a summer goal to get there.
