Discovery Matt’s American Food Bucket List

100 legendary food experiences. 50 states. Your next great adventure.

If you plan trips around where you’re going to eat, this is your kind of checklist.

The lobster shack worth the detour. The barbecue joint you’d wake up early for. The old-school diner that’s been feeding the same town for generations.

I brought 100 restaurant stops across all 50 states together in one illustrated ebook—ready for you to visit, rate, and check off.

Part food guide. Part personal challenge. A bucket list you can actually use.

Every checked box comes with a story.

Try the signature dish. Write down what you ordered. Give the place your own rating. Decide whether you’d go back.

Then picks your next stop.

Over time, this becomes your personal record of meals, places, and memories—from a quick weekend drive to a trip across the country.

Here’s what’s inside

119 pages of vintage-style illustrations, restaurant stories, and checklists, with one complete page per restaurant.

Every restaurant page includes:

The Experience: What makes the stop worth doing.

Why It’s Worth the Trip: The history, character, and traditions behind it.

The Story: The part you’ll probably tell someone about afterward.

The One to Try: A signature dish to help you decide what to order.

Before You Go: Practical notes for planning your visit.

Check It sOff: Space to record your visit date, rating, what you ordered, and whether you’d return.

You’ll also get a 100-stop progress tracker, a 50-state checklist, and regional chapters to help you choose where to go next.

Some familiar names. Plenty of new excuses to travel.

Katz’s Delicatessen. Franklin Barbecue. Commander’s Palace. Keens Steakhouse.

Those are just a few of the stops waiting inside.

Explore the actual page previews to see the artwork, stories, and checklists you’ll get.

Start wherever you’re hungry.

You don’t have to visit all 100. You don’t have to go in order.

Check off somewhere close to home. Find a stop along your next vacation route. Build a weekend around a place you’ve always wanted to try.

Keep the PDF on your phone, tablet, or computer—or print pages to take along and fill in.
