Default Places to eat near Ottawa Ohio?
I'm taking my bride for a trip from St. Paul to Virginia Beach in an Arrow (the -6A is not done yet) and am wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a food/fuel stop in the vicinity of Ottawa Ohio?

Thanks!

Other airports in the area may have cheaper fuel, courtesy car, etc.

...and a little East is Urbana (Grimes Field)

A nice airport cafe with good pies when I was there in July...

Airnav says closed on Mondays though...

Urbana as Gil mentioned has good food. Others along your route are Bolton (TZR) and Parkersburg (PKB). Carroll County (TSO) is probably a little too far north of your route.

Madison County (UYF) and Coshocton (I40) have the best fuel prices, but neither has food this time of year. I40 has a outdoor vendor in the summer.

Default I74 and the aviation museum there
urbana Grimes field is a great place. there is a B17 being built there along with numerous other planes of great interest in their aviation museum. the C-45 Grimes flying lab that was at OSH last year is there also.

grab the courtesy car after lunch on the field at the airport cafe and head into town approx 2 miles and visit carmazzis' deli and candy store.

have fun...

Wow, thanks for all the suggestions! I wish I had more than two opportunities to pass through the area!
