I'm working on a post about Choose Your Own Adventure and modern anxiety, but you'll have to get that next week. I'm in Kansas City and heading to Wichita to meet the editor of Vautrin and visit Watermark bookstore. This is my first time in Kansas, and marks off that state for my list. I'll be looking for bierocks for breakfast, or at least trying breakfast pizza at a Quiktrip. What's your favorite road food? Sarah always gets rye crisps for the road?
I never let myself have those jarred Starbucks frappachinos that leave me shaking just a little from sugar + caffeine except when I’m on the road -- and I love them! Plus mozzarella sticks from Sheetz, if available, and, for reasons unknown to me because I don’t even like them that much, Bugles. (Sometimes Chex Mix, which I like better.) Now that I write it all out I guess I kind of have a whole thing, don’t I? Hope you’re having a delicious time!
Mountain Dew & Slim Jims, the breakfast of champions & road dogs. Drove through Kansas many times going back & forth to college, the Mecca of bizarre little museums, e.g., world's largest prairie dog, museum of ibdependent telephony, greyhound racing hall of fame. All worth stoppong for.
I like to find weird regional brand potato chips, though I go with the plain variety because I'm not that experimental with flavors. I've spent a lot of time in Wichita, though it's been close to a decade since I was there. Enjoy the trip!

Bugles are good with a peanut M&M in them
You know, that does sound good. Thanks for the tip!
The only time I eat Combos (cheese-filled pretzels) is on the road.
That's a good practice. 😁
For me, Peanut M&M's and Payday candy bars. Hubby goes for beef jerky.
Salt and sweet go good together
Ez cheese and ritz crackers
We'll bring those on our next trip

I may have to return. Telephony!
I don't have any favorite road food. This is good in KC:

It was amazing

I wish I saw more of those. You ever had Zapp's Voodoo or Crawtator? I can send some. Louisiana
I have not. I've only been to Louisiana once and I didn't get a chance to haunt my usual types of places.
If you are anywhere that sells Utz they’ll have Zapps chips - at least the voodoo. They bought them.
I hope you get the chance soon.
