    I like the meatloaf at Pilot/FJ

    That's about it. I'll get a piece if I see them bringing it out fresh.

    I always stop at the loves in Kansas at the 145. The clerk there is really nice and always gave me a few of those tornado things for free. Learned to avoid that pretty quickly. Heartburn like a mother ####er.

    I prepare most of my meals in the truck. I make things like rice, pinto beans, chicken, and veggies prior to a trip and use them as a base for many meals. Depending on how I season it all in my skillet, I could have a curry, creole, or asian. Tonight I had corn tortillas with rice, beans, and salsa.

    I will admit to occasionally being a sucker for some flying j pizza but only if they just brought it out. I know it's pre made and relatively low quality, but I still like it.

    The Triple T here in Tucson is a regular stop for locals as well as truckers. I take my wife and daughter out there around once a month for breakfast. Had to go elsewhere new years day, the wait for a table was over 1/2 hr.

    by the way, some truck stops sell a small assortment of cheeses, curds and smoked meats.

    I got a 12 volt cooler and stack it with vegetables and fruit. Eat pb and j in the morning. Fruit for lunch then veggies and potato salad or something for dinner. All from Wal-Mart. If you eat truck stop food full time you will die.

    Oh..everything else I too feel is garbage but iron skillet? with the plates by the pound? Mostly decent. Don't eat there breakfast and late night you have to play it by ear.
