Where to Eat Along America’s Iconic Highways | Eater

"America’s longest Interstate Highway, I-90, runs 3,099.7 miles from Seattle through Boston. If you drove the entire stretch without stopping (not quite possible without pausing to re-fuel or re-charge the vehicle), the trip through Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and Massachusetts would take over 50 hours. May as well make a longer voyage of it at the highway’s mid-point in Chicago. Mr. Beef, a family-run institution since 1979 has been canonized on a popular angry chef dramedy series, but you can’t beat the real thing. Get the Italian beef, spicy (with hot peppers) and wet (with extra au jus) — never doubt a soggy sandwich. There’s also free parking next to the counter-service restaurant, a big bonus." - Vox Creative
