If you stop at Sikeston, MO and eat at Lambert?s be sure to check W&B prior to departure. The portions are enormous. And if you call from the airport they will send a van to pick you up and guide you to your table through the back door. No waiting in line. When we lived in Memphis flew up frequently for lunch. Great country food, fun service and like I said, enormous portions. It?s the home of the throwd rolls. Ask what that means if you don?t know.
 
"Inexpensive" fuel and great on airport food in Florida as you approach SnF:

Flagler County - Highjackers Cafe (KFIN)
New Smyrna Beach - Airgate Cafe (KEVB)
Ocala - Tailwinds Cafe (KOCF)
Williston - Pyper Cub Cafe (X69)

:cool:
