Notes:

While all truck stops are appreciated for being welcome oases of the open road, few are famed far and wide for their food and history. Even fewer are destinations in their own right. But the world’s largest truck stop is exceptional for more than just its size. Besides a dentist and barber, a 60-seat cinema, a trucking museum, and much more, the Iowa Kitchen seats 300 and has been featured on national TV and won recommendations from respected food critics.
