Tasty eats, local stories & roadside favorites from 16 Southern states.
Off the Eaten Path: Second Helpings takes readers on the ultimate road trip, guiding them to the tucked‑away diners, drive‑ins, cafés, and mom‑and‑pop restaurants that define the region’s food culture. Food critic and travel writer Morgan Murphy crisscrosses 16 Southern states, exploring the roads less traveled and uncovering the dishes, stories, and personalities that make each stop unforgettable.
Published by Oxmoor House as part of the Southern Living collection, this volume highlights the best off‑road eats from Texas and Appalachia to the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. With Murphy’s signature humor and unmistakably Southern voice, each chapter introduces a restaurant, a recipe, and a slice of local lore—capturing the spirit of the South one plate at a time.
Murphy features standout restaurant recipes such as Caramelized Vidalia Onion Fritters from The Hill in Palmetto, Georgia; Peanut Butter Pie from The Black Sheep in Richmond, Virginia; Red Beans & Rice from Lasyone’s in Natchitoches, Louisiana; Lump Crab Cakes from Bowens Island in Charleston, South Carolina; and Chile con Queso from Salsa Fuego in Fort Worth, Texas.
The photography is vibrant and inviting—front cover image by Art Meripol, with additional photography throughout the book by Meripol, Murphy, and other contributors. The result is a lively visual tour of Southern kitchens, bakeries, and roadside counters. This softcover copy is in good condition, with some wrinkling on the front cover but no pen marks or tears inside.
