From "Blue Highways" by William Least Heat Moon.
Moon claims the quality of a mom-and-pop beanery is indicated by the number of calendars from local merchants hanging near the register. The more calanders, the better the eats. I have never known this test to fail.
You need to read the book to grok the justification.

My rule: Don't ever eat at one of those truck stop plaza places.

You may want to consider some borders. The fried bugs in Thailand are harvested from the fields AFTER they've been sprayed with insecticide. I don't think organic, cage-free, free -range bugs are an option.

Gas Station food
I used to think that, but then I started trying them out of necessity when driving alot for work. People who refuse to eat at gas stations are going to miss out. In Texas we have several great options, first is Buccee's, a local overrated chain of super stations for cars only, that have all kinds of decent selections and shopping, full meat counters, deli's, and sandwich items. Then there's the old throwback taqueria's which you'll find all over, they have standard barbacoa, chicharron, picadillo, and chicken style taco's, onions and cilantro only of course. Or there are several places that serve ok BBQ as well. And in Louisiana, you'll miss out on the best cracklin, pistolette's, meat pies, head cheese, and boudin in the state because they are traditionally sold at gas station/meat market's in small towns.

I had some amazing Navajo Tacos (Navajo Taco) at a gas station north of Williams, AZ on the way to the Grand Canyon. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.
