D. G. Martin (host of NC Bookwatch) has the wonderful job of compiling a guide to good NC restaurants. His second edition of INTERSTATE EATERIES: A GUIDE TO DOWN-HOME COOKING ALONG NORTH CAROLINA'S INTERSTATES is hot off the press, and I drooled all over my copy as I read it. My favorite breakfast place, Pam's Farmhouse Restaurant on Western Boulevard, is there, along with 99 other recommendations. A good compact size to keep in your glove compartment when you're traveling. (Our State $6.95)
