Best Restaurants to Try on the Drive Between Los Angeles and Las Vegas | Eater LA

"Prior to the pandemic, the Mad Greek was one of the most well-known restaurants along Interstate 15, the main focus of the town of Baker, which stands as the last major marker before reaching Las Vegas from LA. Founder Larry Dabour opened the place with his family in 1990, developing a bit of a cult following among road trippers and truckers. The blue-laden interior conjures images of Aegean islands and bright skies. Most diners come for the gyro wraps and plates, heaping portions of ground lamb and beef, pork, layered chicken carved to order. Crispy fried falafel also make for filling pita sandwiches served with earthy tahini and hummus. There are also fast-food favorites like burgers, fries, and patty melts, plus ice cream shakes (strawberry is the most popular)." - Matthew Kang
