His Tastes Became a National Sensation
Manage episode 451530858 series 3571522
Driving hundreds of miles as a Road Warrior in the early 1900s meant eating nearly all meals in a roadside diner. Minimum state and federal food safety regulations weren’t really enforced at the time. As a result, travelers took a gamble when stopping to get something to eat at a flashing neon sign. So, around 1935, our mystery guest started keeping a daily log. Whenever he stopped in a restaurant during his travels, he would jot down notes about the taste and quality of the food. Interesting to note while enjoying good eating he never really learned how to cook while collecting profits from tasty morsels that we still enjoy eating today.
