Traveling cross country from Norfolk, VA to LA, CA and looking for great places to see, eat, and cheap places to sleep along the way. Any rec for places off I40 in TX greatly appreciated! Have heard that the Big Texan in Amarillo is a good place to stop but no clue where else to go. Thanks in advance!

My cousin and I are driving cross country from Norfolk, VA to LA CA and need recomendations for places to stop, visit, eat, sleep, etc. Have planned out and mapped out the majority of the trip but this stretch seems to be the hardest to plan (we have time to stop and sight see if the sights are worth it and will stop for a nice meal if it is worth stopping for). Any recomendations for must see attractions and places to eat are greatly appreciated. I know from research the the Big Texan is on the way and we will prob have either a steak or eat breakfast here. Thanks!

Santa Barbara Wine tasting
I looked into these but seem a waste at $200 for 2 people. Id rather spend the money on wine and food! thanks for the suggestion though. What markets could you recomend? We will be staying in Buellton. Thanks!
Santa Barbara Wine tasting
I love pinot, sav blancs, syrah, not a huge chardonnay fan. Love big bold reds also. I read there was a winery that specialized in Italian varietals? Excited to taste these and really want to find a market with some local cheese, fruit and salumi if possible to pair for a picnic. Any market suggestions and picnic area suggestions? Also, how far is cold spring tavern from Buellton? are the tri-tip sandwiches worth the drive? Thanks!
Santa Barbara Wine tasting
actually going to stay in the "sideways motel." Heard it's a real hole but could still be fun and just for one night :-)
Santa Barbara Wine tasting
How far is Los Olivos from buellton? Any good places to get food early before tasting? We are planning to drive to Bulleton, check in, taste then eat. Also going to need a good dinner place. Hubbards cupboard looks good. Anyone eaten there?
Santa Barbara Wine tasting
Thanks so much for the suggestions! I am very excited to finally get to know this beautiful area better. We have decided to stay in Buellton and use that as a home base. I am thinking we will do the wineries near the area but want to pack a picnic lunch. Is there a farmer's market that will be open early Sat morning in the area? Also we just realized that Sunday is easter. Does anyone have recs for a good brunch place? We plan to sleep in, eat then explore the area before returning to LA. Thanks so much for the help in advance!!
Santa Barbara Wine tasting
My boyfriend and I are planing a weekend in Santa Barbara and want to check out the wineries but dont nescesarally want to take a tour. What is the best way to do this? Is it possible to do it on our own or should we take a tour? If we do do it on our own, which vineyards should we check out (Ive never toured winteries in CA and this will be my boyfriend's first time tasting wine)? Also, should we pack a lunch or go out to eat and if we do pack a lunch are there any farmer's markets, etc we could hit up in SB before going out? thanks so much for your help!
shad roe, did I do it right?
ps have sea salt that I got in a recent trip to Maine, will finish in that, great suggestion
shad roe, did I do it right?
I love flying fish roe and caviar but this freaked me out a little lol gonna have to try and cook less, have you ever tried the long cook method? Do you think this may change/improve texture?
shad roe, did I do it right?
this was def unpleasant to me, and I have a VERY adventurous palate! WIll try again and try to cook for less time. Thanks Mr. M :-)
shad roe, did I do it right?
was crunchy, almost sandy? I figured I'd messed it up because it had to be better than what id made, hard when you have nothing to base if off of. thanks a mil for the tips :-)
shad roe, did I do it right?
sounds amazing and yes, guess I was expecting a creamy texture, prob what threw me off! Only cooked 2-3 min per side but it was a very hot pan. Thanks for the tip, will try again, ur recipe sounds amazing :-)
shad roe, did I do it right?
Made some roe tonight, dredged in flour, pan fried in bacon fat/evoo mix, topped w brown butter/caper/onion sauce. Was tasty but I wasnt expecting such a granular texture, was almost like flying fish roe but firmer and less briney...did I prepare it incorrectly or is this what the textue is supposed to be like? I was expecting something firmer or creamier? My husband fishes for shad here in Va and the roe was fresh (caught and eaten w/in 24 hrs).
Thanks!
PS. The roe was from a white shad, have hickory shad roe that I will test out tomor pm if you have any suggestions, they will be greatly appreciated!

We will be staying at mm 15, will that be far from blue point? and def plan on phillys at Lucky 12 :-) prob will end the evening at Kelley's to bring in the New year. Thanks for all the help and have a happy and safe new year!
