    Pilot Flying J has partnered with famous chef and restaurant owner Tim Love to give truckers more food options at PFJ locations across the country.

    The company says its goal for its food includes “innovative fresh, made-to-order items” and to provide fresh, quality options for drivers.

    “Offering our guests a variety of fresh, quality food options is a top priority for us at Pilot Flying J,” says Whitney Haslam Johnson, chief experience officer for Pilot Flying J. “We hope to not only meet guests’ expectations, but exceed them, and partnering with Tim Love will absolutely help us achieve that, providing a great experience for our guests.”

    PFJ’s southwestern locations will receive special attention from Love, who is known for his “urban western” cuisine, the company says, as he will focus on the flavors and specialties of the region.

    “I am thrilled to be partnering with Pilot Flying J. They truly want to provide a better food experience for their guests,” Love says. “Our mission will be to create nutritious options that are easy to carry and easy to eat – that criteria tends to be top of mind for most travelers, but hard to come by on the road.”

    Love owns several Fort Worth, Texas, restaurants, including the Lonesome Dove Western Bistro, which opened in 2000.

    No more meat loaf? Noo!!

    No seriously, PFJ needs a major overhaul in food service. The pizza is ok, but let's try something else.

    I think they still sell a pile of pizza.

    I was a sucker for that general tso chicken they used to have at some flying j locations. Replaced with subway and dennys and the hot case and pizza. Way to go pilot. Peanut butter sandwich for the win most days now.

    I've never had a slice covered in as much spray-on bottled 'butter' as the 'za at a PFJ.
    Slides right out of you 8 hours later. We need to get you to an EENT doc, GIYB.

    I just recently tried Chipolte. It tasted like a fresh, healthy meal at an inexpensive price. It would be a big winner at truck stops.

    Some PFJs have a Moes or Qudobo ... essentially the same.

    Pretty much anything would be better than the Subway in every single truck stop in existence.

    The key word FRESH that's a good thing for all you drivers..Pilot/Flying J must have finally reached the end selling stale food. so its either sell fresh or lose more business.

    I like the pot roast you can get at some of them except it's a bit overpriced IMO but still a better option than all the other stuff in the heat case
