We've been to a down home place in Forrest City, The Wagon Wheel, that was great. Three cafeteria-style buffets, soup and salad, hot foods and desserts. A full menu as well. We we're there on new year's day and had great black-eyed peas, beans, greens a multitude of meats and fish and my husband and son said they ate "the best fried chicken in my life". Sweet, local and homey.

Thanks everyone.
We're seriously heading 2500 miles in 4 days in winter over potentially snowy passes. AND, we're considering dropping down from Salt Lake City I 80 on rt. 6 to hit Denver and then back up to Nebraska on 76 to 80. Maybe dropping down to rt.6 or 20 in IL and IN for a bit more local flavor.

We'll be heading back that way, from Ohio to Nashville, Memphis, OK city, Taos, Bay area.
Though I know we're headed into some food Meccas, any ideas are welcome.

We will be driving nearly the entire expanse, entering in Vallejo and exiting in Youngstown, Ohio, traveling 4 days, weather permitting. So, the question is: in between California and Pennsylvania where might we find interesting, good, local food?

We're Americans looking for advice; hoping to get something local, interesting, homemade.

We'll be entering in Vallejo, and if weather permits, not leaving the interstate till 4 days later in Youngstown, Ohio. That encompasses Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and most of Ohio.

We'll be traveling through the US on I-80 in December and wonder if anyone can recommend places to eat, good local specialties/holiday foods to try.
