    I had one of the best ready-made burgers ever at some hole in the wall truck stop at the junction of US 17 and I 16 in Ga. I normally try to avoid those pre-made sandwiches, but their's just caught my eye and oh boy did that burger hit the spot.

    Exit 195 on I-81, VA - LeeHi has better food than Whites - a tad more expensive but worth the stop. Huge parking area!

    Soul man's in Rockwall,TX. off of I-30, I forgot what exit# its sevent-something. Best BBQ ribs & briskett I have ate in a real long time. They also let trucks park there. I would highly recommend this place. they are just north side of I30, you can't miss it.

    I have but only one thing to say........................

    WHITE CASTLE!!!!!!!!!!!


    Yep, For me, 10 Slyders and a Coke does the trick. I used to haul coal from WV to a power plant near Lexington, KY. This was always one of my nightly stops.

    It's not healthy, but it'll definitely put hair on your chest.

    No Seriously,

    The Blue Ridge Truck Stop Somewhere off US 119 in PA (been a real long time) Every Tuesday night they had Spaghetti and Meatballs. OMG People!!! Absolutely, by far, the best spaghetti dinner this side of Sicily. Everything was perfect, and dirt cheap. With a platter of pasta, garlic bread, salad, and drink it was less than $5. (No Crap)

    Dude, any hair gain from eating that will have an offsetting hair loss on your backside, thanks to the violent diarrehia that you will surely get. I eat White Castle once a month, and call it my 'monthly cleaning'!

    The Ambest in Morris,IL (I think MM 112, I 80) had a pretty good restaurant (and a huge parking lot). The Crazy D's just east of plymouth IN was also a good place to eat, cheap food with good portions.

    In Orygun, on US 97, "Jake's" in Bend is a real treat! I used to run 97 instead of I-5 quite often, both for the scenery and to stop at Jake's Truckstop....

    mmm mmmmm!!!!

    I do not remember the mile marker, but it is on I-10 and it is called PETO. They had some of the BEST sausage I have ever had!! There is a smoke house right behind the station, they also have a meat cooler where you can buy stuffed pork chops and other "raw" meats. Everyone told me how great the Tiger Truck Stop was for food.... Ate there and the food at PETO kicks it butt!!
