Today Burger Beast is joined by Rolando Pujol, a true champion of nostalgia and the roadside wonders that defined mid-century America. He’s the author of The Great American Retro Road Trip: A Celebration of Roadside Americana, a beautifully curated love letter to vintage diners, neon signs, drive-ins, kitschy attractions, and the forgotten corners of the U.S. highway system.
He also runs The Retrologist on Substack, where he dives deep into retro culture, classic design, and Americana ephemera with equal parts reverence and curiosity. If you’ve ever taken a detour for a giant fiberglass statue or a faded motel sign—this is your guy.
