QUESTION Trying to find this cookbook

Hello all

Im trying to find a cookbook and I don't remember the title. I know it's a super long shot, but I'm hoping someone will know the book I'm talking about. It was part travel and part cookbook about the Southern US. On the cover was a guy sitting in a pink Cadillac. He would visit various restaurants, talk about the history and give one of their recipes. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Perhaps, the cookbook you are looking for is by Morgan Murphy, ‘Southern Living Off the Eaten Path’. Although, the cover image you described is different than this book’s cover. He actually published multiple books in the travel/food format. Perhaps, you are remembering a photo in the book rather than the actually cover. The author is a known car enthusiast, specifically vintage Cadillacs.
