Voss’ Bar-B-Q – Utica, New York


You might think, hot dogs? The answer is Voss’ Bar-B-Q, in Yorkville (Utica), New York. This little place that is only open part of the year (they close in winter) has been a fixture on Oriskany Boulevard for more than 70 years. My parents ate there as kids growing up in Utica, and over the years I had heard them speak of how memorable a Voss’ hot dog was.

Sandstone Café – St. George, Utah

The Sandstone Café is everything a good restaurant should be. Excellent food, great service, reasonable prices, and a comfortable setting. The menu covers breakfast, lunch, and dinner; they are open from 6:30 am until 1am. It is cafeteria style, where you select your food a la carte; pay for it and carry it to your table. It’s not fine dining, but the Sandstone is a seriously fine place to eat. It does have one other thing that makes it a bit unusual – the location.

Holly’s Drive-In – Post, Texas


If you love hamburgers and soft ice cream, Holly's Drive-In, in Post, Texas, is a must visit. If you live in or travel through the Post/Lubbock area, take the time to try the food at this great drive-in. It's a classic small town sort of place; a place where you can step back in time to a kinder, gentler era.

Chappell Hill Bakery and Deli - Chappell Hill, Texas


The big, orange building of the Chappell Hill Bakery and Deli stands out on the south side of Highway 290 in Chappell Hill, Texas, beckoning tired, hungry travelers to stop, rest, and most of all – eat exceptional food. 

To say that this family owned restaurant does barbecue and baked goods is like saying that a Ferrari is a metal thing that moves fast – a massive understatement. It is much more accurate to say that this wonderful place has the power to waylay passersby and stuff them with some of the most amazing food the lucky eaters have ever had.
