    When you get to Live Oak, FL, look for signs for Sheffield's Catfish House, where Jesus is Lord! I've not been in a few years, but it used to have the BEST catfish I've ever ate, and I like catfish so I've ate alot! It's a dumpy truckstop, and when I was travelling 75 regularly, always stopped there.
     
    For BBQ, near Valdosta, exit 22 I believe, The Smokin' Pig

      In Piqua the pizza at Beepo Uno is really good.

      In Cinci try Camp Washington, right off the Interstate. Cinci chili, double deckers and goetta.

      Take the detour off your route to Wallace Station outside Lexington. Well worth it.

      Not sure what time of year this will be but The Rootbeer Stand in Corbin, Ky is great. They have the regional specialty, Chili Bun.

        In Atlanta on the 75/85 connector is the Varsity at North Ave. Also many other restaurants in The Atlanta Area are close to the connector.  In Jackson Ga. try Buckner's. Tifton Ga. Valdosta Ga. and Lake City Fla. have an Ole Times Country Buffet. Lake City also has Cedar River Seafood. Also in Ocala Fla. try Sam's St. John Seafood. (Travel Tip Best time to come through Atlanta is 10am-2p.m. Often 75/85 can be as fast as using the 285 perimeter due to traffic.)

            We at at a Puleo's when we stayed there and very much liked it. They're very small local chain.

            Senor Taco
            Litton's Market
            Chandler's Deli
