Ok, I have In-n-out here in Phoenix and I'm not really seeing the fascination with it. Not trying to bust anyone's bubble but I'd rather eat 5 Guys.

5 guys is a good basic burger.

I've never eaten anything at In n Out except the ANIMAL STYLE DOUBLE DOUBLE.  Grilled onions with thousand island style sauce... yum. Counter guy told me the first visit, been hooked ever since.

On my two drives out and back I was more concerned about whether I could easily park the truck and trailer than getting off the interstate and looking for some particular restaurant.  Driving long stretches at a time tends to suppress my appetite anyway.  After stopping for the evening I'm usually looking on Yelp for a nearby spot with a decent rating.

Not many of us, myself included, really need a double/double the best of times.   //no//

Yea, I was going to say the same thing. We have them here all over in SoCal and there is no comparison to 5 Guys. And just for the record, I would never say that I want to eat 5 guys lol

Lol. Seeing it from this perspective, there's really no good way to say that.
I'm all about food, there's just some that's worth it and some that's not.

This is where grammar matters.  SO... any other suggestions?  Guess this isn't the foodie crowd.

I'm envious of your route.  I love animal style. 

I talked to a guy from st Louis, today and he said Whittaker's is middle ground pizza...have you had it before?  Have you had any other from that area?

This guy said Imo's and Cecil's are related by family...brutal family feud going on...like grand dad isn't invited to grand kid's wedding. 

I think middle ground from his perspective was relative to other St Louis style pizza joints.  I've never had SL style, but I'm very interested in it.

They have a few good food apps to help you find good local food when traveling. I love eating at new places. I can't remember the app I had

When I'm out of town I try to eat exclusively at places I can't get in Atlanta.  My app is to look for places with names I don't recognize...go, I use Google maps

True. I remember on one of my work trips, I asked some locals if they had any suggestions for good local food. No bs, I got; Applebee's, outback, Cheesecake Factory...

yikes.  I avoid chain restaurants like the plague unless it's the only viable thing within driving distance (which has happened - most Power Plants are not put in residential areas)

Yeah, same here on avoiding. I specifically asked if they knew about any local restaurants that weren't a chain.

Serious about the beer stuff?  If so, the BJCP (beer judge certification program) would love to have you as a beer judge.  Some perks with that association and activity.  I can direct you to contributing.

Yes, I'll tell you about it after one of your fitness training sessions. :)

I can, however, consume beer and tell people whether or not I like it. Haha.

Yeah I travel for work and have a ton of apps but I'd rather hear from folks who have been there or are from the region. Figured this isn't the first Moab trip the group has done but I guess no one makes the trip a vacation as well and is just driving to get to the destination.

We don't usually stop for more than fuel and a beverage or subway and we're rolling again.  Want to maximize time on red rock and chill in Moab

I really enjoy hanging in Moab.  Great place to be.

There is some great food in Moab. 
Moab brewery
Moab diner
Pasta Jays
Jailhouse
Theres a burger place...

Don't go to mcstiffs.  They are opposed to motors off road.  Or eclectic cafe.  There is a list somewhere. 

Tuesday is cheap wings at the brewery.

I don't know how long I can go without some pasta jays after we get there lol..

I just haul butt to Moab and eat at all the good places in Moab. My girlfriend better be glad that I don't have a transfer tank in the back of the duramax or we would only stop once on the way to Moab.
I always eat a new place everyday when on a vacation. I have been adding some new must go to go places since this thread got started.
