Fiamma Burger - Bellingham, WA
I stopped for lunch at this gourmet hamburger joint that was recommended to me by other MetaFilter members when I posted our route.
It’s the type of place that has 21 specialty burgers on the menu and most look like they could be your new favorite hamburger, although some are out there - a salmon burger may sound good to you, but not for me.
Well, I’ve finished my burger and sweet potato fries and I am only 30 minutes South of Corner #3 in Blaine, WA so I feel anxious to ride on…
Biscuits and Gravy
I remember when I was little on a road trip to our cabin in Utah that my father took us to a truck stop on the North side of Las Vegas. I ate biscuits and gravy for first time. I remember really liking it, and from that point forward it was always like “oh, this place serves biscuits and gravy” if I ate at a place with it on the menu - like they were special.
If this trip has taught me anything, it is that biscuits and gravy are not special.
It must be the cheapest thing to prepare and keep around because just about every hotel from every chain has biscuits and gravy as their “hot breakfast”.
After 20 days I can hardly stand the sight of them.
I will never order biscuits and gravy off a menu again.
Today for lunch I ate something close to a McRib, from a gas station.
It had “8 14” written on the wrapper. Does that mean they would let it sit for 10 more days without selling?
Lunch at The Varsity in downtown Atlanta. It’s the world’s largest drive-in and single biggest outlet of Coca-Cola products.
Enjoying lunch and a rest break at Willie T’s in Key West, FL
One last stop for food and fuel and then we are on to the East End of Route 66.
This is it!
