That round steak sounds similiar to our round steak with rice and gravy. We brown the steak on both sides and then add onions, bell peppers, spices, and water to make a brown gravy. We then cook a pot of rice and beans or corn. Once the steak is falling apart, it's ready. Put the rice on a plate, put some gravy and beans/corn on top the rice and stir. We hold an annual cooking competition for that.
That's where your computer will help you out SD. Trouble is it would make it a lot simplier if you had certain towns or cities names first. I think you could just type in a state and ask for local food and cooking festivals. I know when we moved to NC that is how I found out about the goings ons around our area. Of course some posters can also direct you to the festivals in their areas too.
All I know is this is sounding like a rather delicious trip.... I might have to talk hubby into giving this a try..... SD you are a clever gal! You should pitch it to the Travel Channel and make a few bucks along the way...... hmmmmmmmmmmmmm............

I've started looking and it's mind-boggling how many there are! So many seasons for so many festivals for foods, drinks, cook-offs... interesting stuff, just soooo much of it!

Jamie Oliver just beat me to it - the little b*gger - he's just filmed a USA food tour and it'll be on TV later this year....darn it...
Most southern cities, and simply because the food in the South is the best you'll get anywhere. You'll get a lot of down-home cooking in those places. Lots of comfort food, too. Memphis is one of the first cities on my mind, but there are countless others. I try to watch what I eat, but this area of America offers too many weaknesses.

Oh My Yes! I used to be a "road warrior" and always enjoyed business travel to the south, especially Florida and the Gulf Coast, where the buffet is king

That's the problem with road-tripping - sitting in a car for hours then eating a huge meal doesn't seem such a good idea! I think I'd have to take a bicycle with me to burn off some of that homecooking!

Swing through western Kentucky for some great bar-b-que! Most people like it super hot. Most places around here you get the meat where you can actually taste the smoky flavor in it. If you want the hot sauce, it comes free of charge in a little cup.
There was an Essenhaus in Murray, Kentucky a few years ago. They shut down because business was so bsy they didn't have time for their daily chores. I never got to eat there. Went 3 or 4 times and the shortest wait was 30-45 minutes.
If you want to detour a little, south of Amarillo is the Palo Duro Canyon. They call it the little Grand. I saw the one and only real Road Runner I ever saw in my life; man that duke can run. Theyhave wetern shows in the canyon in the summer. Hop on I-44 and head East toward St. Louis. In Mount Vernon, MO stop at the Chinese Buffet. I like the Ranch House Motel in Sweetwater TExas and the Best Western at Shamrock, Texas. I like Rod Griffin's Truck Stops in Texas. - they're around Amarillo.
Oklahoma until you get around Tulsa is boring. Tulsa has a shopping place called Utica Sqiare tjat is very upscale. And 41st and 52st on Memrial or Sheridan is the Royal Garderns Chinese restaurant. The food is devine and the srrvice is exquisite. Buffet or menu at night. White table cloths and linen napkins. Foot bridge, Koi, and quite music. It is a blessed change of pass from driving. About 150 miles east is the MO border where you begin to enter Civil War historical battlefields, etc. But if you detour south to Grand Lake in Grove, OK you'll find everythig from good BBQ at TomCat Corner to Japanese Gardens and the world's largest antique museum. CW history here too as well as lake cruises and casinos. The town for it size has pretty chow too. It's sandwiched between two Civil WAr battlefields and Eureka Springs, AR. If you've never been there its worth the trip.
Going East into Missouri, detour North on I-71 to Carthage, Mo. There the CW courthouse on the square, and Precious Moments figureines in the county, but the real surprse is the Tru-Value hardware store on the square. Its and amazing place and a lot of fun. Mt. Vernon is about 20 miles East. Carthage has a CW Battlefield and if you go due south to the AR border you'll find the Pea Ridge National CW Battlefiedl. Continue EAst om 1-44 tp Republic for the Wilson's Creek National Battlefield.
Continue East to Lamar.. EXit Lamar on MO 5 North. Lamar has a prtty good buffet from breakfast to dinner. Stay on 5 N to Lake of the Ozarks.and pick up US 54 EAST. You'll go throuh the capital at Jefferson City and pass Kindom City to pick up 1-70 East. Stay East about 200 mile to west of St. Louis where you'l pick up US 61? at Warrenton. It will take you near the Mark Twain National Forest before reaching Troy. Is a great place to spend the night. Good food and good motels. From there you will continue North to US 74 and go East to Louisiana, MO. Gas Up. Once you cross the Mississipi River, gas goes up.
I'm going to stop here. If this sound interesting IM me. I'm taking you to the next body of water the size of the everglades.
