Peach Street to Lobster Lane: Coast to Coast in Search of Real American Cuisine

What does American food really taste like? In Peach Street to Lobster Lane, Felicity Cloake travels coast to coast by bicycle in search of the answer. From sauerkraut balls in Ohio to crawfish stew in Louisiana, her journey cuts through stereotypes to reveal a complex and deeply regional culinary landscape shaped by culture, history, and local pride.

Along the way, she encounters a generous and welcoming America—one best understood not through headlines, but across the dinner table.

Felicity Cloake is a journalist and author known for One More Croissant for the Road, Red Sauce, Brown Sauce, and her columns in The Guardian and New Statesman. In this new book, she brings her signature curiosity, humour, and palate to the American road trip.
