What are some good chowing places to eat on or near the Interstate? All cusines are welcome. Thanks.

When you say "near the Interstate" do you mean within 2 blocks or 2 miles? More information, please.

We'll be driving from southern Illinois, actually, but we know where we like to stop in Missouri and in Memphis. I don't know where we'll be stopping in Mississippi, since i last drove through there in 1976, and east to west at that. So, juke joints, barbecues, must-visit diners, whatever are all fair game. Hope this helps. Mon Dec 01 20:23:11 -0800 2008 4210145 141925 dochoch 3 4213579 most of my favorite places are at least 30 minutes one way from i-55... Oxford, MS for one. has a few good places to eat. Mayflower in Downtown Jackson would be good. I'll try to think of a few others.
