Eater's new cookbook "Eaterland" (out today) isn't just recipes — it's a love letter to the regional dishes that define America, from Hawai'i to the Mid-Atlantic.
Why it matters: Beyond craveable recipes (hello, Maryland crab soup), it's about culinary identity — the quirkier and more local, the better — doubling as a travel guide with must-try lists, mom-and-pop stops and guides to Mid-Atlantic diner or boardwalk cuisine.
Zoom in: Across eight regions, the book makes a case for the Mid-Atlantic as the "birthplace of American cuisine," section author Tim Ebner tells Axios — and just as rich as Texas or the South.
