Aboard the Burlington’s famous
Zephyrs, fine dining was as much a part of the journey as the gleaming
stainless steel train itself. Dining aboard the Way of the Zephyrs
is a faithful reproduction of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Railroad’s original 1948 dining car cookbook, used by the railroad’s
chefs during the height of the streamliner era. This authentic reprint
preserves the exact recipes once prepared in the Burlington’s rolling
kitchens — complete with the straightforward instructions and period
flavor of the mid-20th century.
From breakfast staples and elegant entrées to classic desserts served on the Morning and Denver Zephyrs,
this volume offers a genuine taste of the CB&Q’s celebrated dining
service. Perfect for railroad historians, vintage cookbook collectors,
and anyone with an appetite for nostalgia, Dining aboard the Way of the Zephyrs brings the golden age of railroading right to your own kitchen table.
