Food Tour

Why do people turn their back on the Brick and Mortar lifestyle?  There are a lot of reasons, but the main one is food.  Let's be honest, that drives everything and today was a double shot of delicious. 

We stopped at the Flying J to fill up.  They have nice gas pumps specific for RV's.  And then when you are done, they have RV parking.   So Lisa and I can fill up and pull over to have a nice lunch.  She had some nice healthy turkey burgers ready to go.  After filling up, I noticed a sign for a Maid Rite and Taco John's inside the truck stop.  Bam!  Change of plans.  They might as well of had a monogrammed red carpet for us.

Lisa is a big fan of the loose meat sandwich.  She must have watched too much of Roseanne in the 90's.  They managed to mess up the order, but that is to be expected.  Lisa has food rules.  No mustard, ketchup, etc.  She managed to salvage it by moving most of the sandwich onto some bread we had.

And Taco John's.  Wow.  I just can't get enough of that.  Every time I see it, I turn into a dumb teenager cruising the strip in Cheyenne.  There is nothing like Taco John's Potato Oles.  There just isn't.  So when I order, I pick a random combo and up size it, because all that really matters is a big bucket of Oles. 

What restaurants are must hits around the country?  Please comment.

Long Time Gone

Things were a bit hectic as we toured Pennsylvania.  Seeing family after a long pause seems to require a large time commitment.  Many adventures were had, but I shall leave many of those stories to reminisce over the next couple of weeks as we move back towards Colorado.

For now, we are in Indiana with a quick stop planned for Chicago.  Goodbye, HSBC!  Anyway, we are glad this will be our last sprint across the country.  We will soon be able to slowly explore the country.  Soon...
