I know I’m not answering your question, but over the last ten years, and well over 20 drives between MA and the Villages, we have learned that the food options while traveling sucks. We now pack all our food on ice and eat our meals on the road. It’s much healthier, less expensive, and way less time consuming. My wife packs couplets (which are basically omelets made in a cupcake tin), fresh fruit, and yogurt for breakfast. For lunch we have cut up veggies and dip, and cheese and turkey on triscuits. When we get to the hotel, my wife has Tupperware containers filled with salad that we top off with smoked salmon. She also has bags of mixed nuts which are always handy for a snack. And of course, we make a couple large thermoses filled with hot coffee. Once we started doing that it has become a routine that we very much enjoy and we will never go back to dinning out while traveling. Just food for thought, no pun intended. Safe travels : (
