Boudin at Don's Specialty Meats in Carencro, Louisiana. Get a pound of boudin and, maybe, a bag of cracklins.

The Buckhorn in San Antonio, New Mexico for its fantabulous green chile cheeseburger served with homemade French fries. (hey, if Texas can have a Paris, New Mexico can have its own San Antonio). Try the homemade salsa and homemade corn tortilla chips as a starter; and add a side of pinto beans and chile to round out your meal of the day. Watch out for lifelong cravings.

The Salt Lick, in Austin, although they don't make anything you can eat in the car.

Since you wrote about hamburgers, I will mention White Manna in Hackensack N.J. My friend was in the hospital nearby for over a year and the best thing I did was bring her double cheeseburgers from White Manna. Ultimate joy. It's those little things that mean a lot. When people are in a hurry and there is a long line, they are told to go to McDonalds across the street. If they go, they don't know what they are missing.

Back when I lived in New York, I used to make periodic road trips up to Boston (usually for the regional science fiction convention Boskone). Going either direction, we always made a point to stop in Vernon, Conn for Rein's New York Deli. You'd think that living in Manhattan in those days that I would have had enough of the classic Jewish delicatessen. Nope, Rein's was always the additional lagniappe to any trip. Ah, that pastrami and corned beef, knishes... slobber. Now that I live in Seattle, I really pine for that type of food.

Anywhere near Carrizozo, NM-- I like to stop in Cloudcroft for the view-- for cherry cider. It's delicious, sharp, sweet, bubbly, and tangy.

Porto's Bakery in Glendale. Their coconut macaroons, tres leches, and cheese rolls and worth every minute of the trek

David's Catfish House in Atmore, Alabama has great southern fried seafood. I loved the fried shrimp and hubby enjoyed the fried catfish. Even our picky 4 year old enjoyed the food.

The Blue Benn in Bennington, VT. Nothing beats a hot, greasy Sunday Brunch after a long night out.

Luling City Market in Luling,Tx. on I-10 60 miles west of San Antonio. You buy brisket, sausage or ribs from smoke room in back on butcher paper with crackers, bread, peppers and onions.

You buy cheese, beans and drinks at the front.

I've never had barbecue sauce like it. I think it is mustard based.

Jimmie's, for lobster rolls, in West Haven CT (soon to close, I hear--I propose a national day of mourning). Followed by Dr. Mike's, for ice cream, in Bethel CT. With a special mention for Jacques-imo's, in New Orleans, for the shrimp-and-alligator cheesecake (more like a quiche). Dear lord in heaven. I need to book a flight.
