Actually, the North East corridor (Boston, NYC, Phily, B'more, and DC) is 
not bad - I usually do not complain about the lack of choice and 
quality.  But the situation deteriorates rapidly when you move west- or 
south-ward.  One vivid memory from my bygone cross-country driving days is 
surviving on lousy food and wasting valuable time on futile searches for 
something more decent to eat.
