Who the hell is Fred Harvey?

5 days / 1020 miles / 17 hours 40 minutes

"Fred Harvey created the first national chain of restaurants, of hotels, of newsstands, and of bookstores in America. But unlike the chains of today, the Fred Harvey system was known for dramatically raising standards wherever it arrived, rather than eroding them. It turns out that being a fast-food nation was originally a good thing." - Appetite for America by Stephen Fried
