FOOOOOOOOD

So, I'm not sure if i have mentioned this yet. I lovvvvvvvve food. I count eating as one of my top 5 hobbies, along with crafting, photography, cocktails (yes, creating and sipping cocktails is absolutely a hobby), and the outdoors. I plan to enjoy 4/5 of these hobbies on my trip (I doubt I'll be doing any crafting, but I hope to meet some skilled crafters and perhaps purchase some American Indian handicrafts.) Anywho, food. I'm exited to eat many regional delicacies in my travels as possible, from Southwestern fare to the giant steaks up in cow country. Since were taking Route 66 all the way there (yes, we will be hopping on the interstate quite frequently to pick up the pace.) I was very happy to find this site: Route66Food

Here is the first delicacy that caught my attention:
CHICKEN in Illinois
Diner food in OK
Burgers in OK

Okay, I stopped my search here. I really need to find a better site of food that is ROADSIDE along Route 66. I thought that would be easy to find because their diners/ burger joints/random kitschy fast food is so well known. I'll keep looking, and update this later.

EDIT:
Thank you Travel Channel. I knew I could count on you!
Route 66
Man vs. Food is my fav
Thank you for posting his itinerary! Here's a sample from Chicago.
And finally, I cant stand him, but I like the same greasy crap he eats.
