(Decanter) - Booking specialist Orbitz has created a route from east coast to west that takes in some of America's top Michelin-starred restaurants. It isn't going to be cheap, even if you sacrifice all hotels and sleep in the car - but it could certainly be a gourmet trip to remember.

Travel booking site Orbitz has compiled an interactive map showing the quickest route to drive to 169 Michelin starred restaurants, from New York to Chicago to San Francisco.

The ‘Michelin Star Spangled Road Trip’ includes the restaurants in the 2017 Michelin guide for the US, which were announced at the end of last year.

The shortest route would still be 3,426 miles in total and, if one ate at one restaurant a night, would take around five months to complete.
