I’m driving from Boston to Santa Barbara at the end of the summer, and, because of Roadfood, have my dinner and breakfast spots already picked out. Thanks! But where to stop for lunch? There are so many choices. Between:

1) Boston and Cleveland: Albany?
2) Cleveland and Des Moines: South Bend?
3) Des Moines and Cheyenne?
4) Cheyenne and Salt Lake?
5) Salt Lake and Las Vegas?
6) Las Vegas and Santa Barbara?

We’ll be traveling with our dog, so pet-friendly places or places with patios, would be particularly welcome.
