Industry reviews
"...[A] minutely detailed paean to an era that has nearly disappeared."
Entertainment Weekly - Nikki Amdur (01/14/2000)

"The trenchantly anti-ironic FAST FOOD: ROADSIDE RESTAURANTS IN THE AUTOMOBILE AGE is...overwhelmed by nostalgia thinly disguised as scientific analysis, but this does not overshadow the author's achievement: a comprehensive account of the rise of fast food to its place as America's third largest industry."
Literary Review - Jason Brown (03/16/2000)

"John A. Jakle and Keith A. Sculle are not into breast-beating or finger-pointing. Their mission, in this meticulously detailed study of the origins and growth of fast-food chains in the 20th century, is to understand the reasons such enterprises succeeded or failed, how the automobile affected the architectural subculture of the urban fringe, and what kinds of people have succeeded in the cutthroat business of persuading motorists to stop for a Whopper and a Super-Size order of fries."
New York Times - Karal Ann Marling (01/09/2000)
