"Pennsylvania is especially rich in diners, which, as this book so ably points out, are much more than places to get cheap eats quickly. They are architectural and design marvels, mirrors of social mores, and citadels of culinary tradition. Their multiple personalities, as well as their history and prominent place in Pennsylvania's foodways, are beautifully described-and illustrated-in this essential ode to a uniquely American style of dining." --Jane & Michael Stern, Roadfood.com

"The original edition of Diners of Pennsylvania, the first in a series, combined historical research, photos, and maps, assuring it would instantly become the benchmark for all that followed it. This revised edition, now in full color with updated text, new photos, and additional information, makes a great book even that much better!" --Larry Cultrera, Diner Hotline Weblog
