Take a trip down America’s Mother Road as we fuel up with some great grub along iconic Route 66 in a fascinating series of on-location reports. Visiting places like Russ’ Ribs, Woody’s and Kuku Burger, we find that you don’t really need a map—you just follow the neon. Then chat up the friendly people and dig into the tasty chow. This video will make you want to hit the road. We recommend you come hungry and turn off the cruise control.
