Food on the great American Highway

Posted on Sat, Jan 07 2006 @ 9:48 PM [CST]

After my post of a couple weeks ago VaqueroMuerto recommended a Chinese restaurant in Forrest City, AR. Since I mostly drive the upper Midwest I'll probably never make it there, but I appreciate the recommendation. But I do enjoy how the local culture affects the restaurant fair. The post VaqueroMuerto was responding to talked about Crawdads on a Chinese Buffet in Gilmer, TX. The other night I was watching Texas fumble and stumble through the first quarter of the Rose Bowl against SoCal while eating rhubarb pie in Bimdidji, Minnesota. I love rhubarb pie and was surprised to see it on the menu in January. My policy is to not eat dessert on the road, but I make an exception for rhubarb pie.

Crawdads in Texas, rhubarb pie in Minnesota, organic coffee in a Massachusetts McDonalds, and Dorothy Lynch salad dressing in Nebraska and Iowa. That's what makes trucking so great!!

Don't worry about the accident shit happens. I got hit by a train and luckily my boss went to bat for me when it came up to the review board for accidents it got ruled NON-preventable or not guilty for all you non truckers. Even though it wasn't my fault it made me a little gun shy behind the wheel but I climbed up in the cab and got to driving again. Last week I got stuck in the mud at a ranch delivering feed. However, I dont feel to bad since five other drivers got stuck in the same area. These things happen just try and not to make it a habit. On another note I keep on hearing non-truckers say eat where the truck drivers eat because its good. This is an absolute lie. Drivers eat where they can park their rigs. I have eaten mostly either fried to hell, cold, or downright disgusting food OTR. Anyway I am rootin' for ya Happy New Year!!! VaqueroMuerto OUT!
