The 1960's were awesome as a kid. I did lots of travelling by car with my parents. No fast food really. What was fast food to us was Keller's in Dallas, Kips, Stuckey's, Nickerson farms and some independent burger places in small towns, all of which were awesome to my taste buds!

I remember Dutch's in Quanah (doughnuts!), Also the Western Sky steakhouse in San Angelo which might still be there,
A fabulous smokehouse in Alvord on the highway which is long gone, the Red Rider truck stop up on 287 with it's tiny shack of a diner and a huge oil derrick, and the best enchiladas on earth at every truck stop we stopped at! They all knew the secret because they all tasted the same!
Greasy, heaps of lettuce tomato and cheese and a flavor I've never found since & served on a fajita plate with a stainless steel insert. Where can I find these now! Were they really so good or does everything just taste better when you're a kid
