    Missoula you gotta go to Crossroads travel plaza at exit 96. #1 they've got a great sit down restaurant and #2 there is a naked girl bar across the parking lot.

    Is there a correlation between the number of people that eat there and the condition of their toilet stalls? :scratch:

    If I get hungry enough to eat the bung hole out of a dead cow, then I'll eat there, but only if I can't find a dead cow.

    I ate "here" several days a week when I got back into trucking about 4 years ago. Gained 45 lbs, boosted my blood pressure to borderline problems, and became prediabetic.

    Then I became serious about health.

    I gradually cut all sugar out of my diet, eating mostly raw fruits and vegetables. Dropped my blood pressure to better than normal, lost 45 lbs in 6 months, and my doctor was amazed to see that my prediabetic condition had gone to the unreasonably healthy range in that 6 months. I also dropped my resting heart rate from 72 to 59 bpm. Haven't been sick at all in 3 1/2 years.

    I do eat at the truck stop restaurants now, about twice a month, to have a ribeye steak (like last night to celebrate running my 70 down to less than an hour for the first time in two months). Other than that the only food I purchase at truck stops are bananas and oranges. They can't eff those up.

    I eat the pizza twice a month. The salads are the main stay. Salad dressing is still all fat or sugar. It's better just not super good.

    I won't touch that pizza... Growing up in New Jersey has spoiled me unto what good pizza tastes like. Wouldn't give flying J pizza to my dog!

    If I'm in a big hurry, once in a blue moon I'll get one of the bacon cheeseburgers.
     
    Brettj3876 and Studebaker Hawk Thank this.
