Road Trip from Texas to California...What/Where to Eat
I will be traveling to the Sacramento area in a few days. By way of 287 thru Amarillo on to I-40 all the way to Barstow area of California, before I turn onto I-15 to CA-58 to CA-99 onto Sacramento.
What are some of your favorite places you can recommend on this journey.
I look forward to your replies and hope to try some new foods and places I haven't yet.
Thank you in advance.

Just a quick note that BeckJ has also posted on the Southwest and Texas boards, so if you have suggestions for those portions of the poster's journey, you can find those threads on their profile -- just click on their username above.

Might want to consider leaving I-40 and drive up through the Mojave Desert to link up with I-15 at Baker and take in the improbably located "Mad Greek" cafe in Baker on 1-15 and then continue on to Barstow on 1-15, or make a loop through the Mojave Desert (wild scenery) and back to continue on 1-40 if you want to stay true to the 1-40 route.
In the middle of the Mojave Desert area on this route is the former railroad town of Kelso which now houses a Parks Service historic restoration visitor center which included re-opening light food service at the former "Beanery": http://digital-desert.com/kelso-depot/ This is definitely worth a detour.
