Episode 150. To mark the milestone, we're doing something fitting: talking about the roads that built this country. From the Lincoln Highway, the first coast-to-coast road ever built, to Route 66 at 100 years old, to some of the most unreasonable and beautiful drives on the planet — Highway 1 along the California coast, the Southwest Loop through canyon country, the Natchez Trace and Blue Ridge Parkway, plus the roads worth a trip all by themselves: Going-to-the-Sun Road, the Overseas Highway, the Hana Highway, and more.

If you've ever wanted a road trip list worth keeping, this is the episode.

We break down the Painted Desert, the park’s best short trails, and the human history etched into stone, then zoom out to the surrounding stretch of Route 66, including Holbrook and Meteor Crater. Deep time, roadside Americana, and a literal hole in the Earth, all in one drive.

We’re closing out our Essentials series with the thing that ties it all together: food. This episode looks at the regional flavors and iconic eats that define the United States — how Tex-Mex, Indigenous desert cuisine, Cajun cooking, barbecue, and classic American dishes came to be, and how certain cities helped turn local food into national habits.

It’s a travel-forward celebration of taste, place, and identity. No rankings, no lectures — just how America actually eats, and why that matters.
