Rochester NY to Destin Fla. Where should I eat?

Mostly looking for the must eat places on the stretch heading south from OH. Oh, KY, TN, AL?
 


tabasco, it would be easier for folks to help if you would specify your route!

Makes Sense, sorry, looks like well be heading down 71s to 70w, some more 71s and the 65s and us331 in Alabama.
 
 

well first since you are from Fairport, pick up a TK's Pizza ;) 
 
If I were heading back through Alabama , I would head back to the original location of Dreamland BBQ.  The menu is a bit more limited than say Dinosaur BBQ, basically Ribs or BBQ and white bread and   drink, maybe chips and some nanner pudding, but the ribs are great.  HOWEVER that is a bit off your path, into Tuscaloosa.  There is a location in Birmingham, but I have never been, though the menu at the other locations is a bit more expansive than the original.
