The US has the best fried chicken, except for maybe France.
Chicken and Waffles at 900 Grayson in Berkeley (get the cream gravy). It's called the "Demon Lover" on the menu, and it will ruin you for life.

You're definitely a trailer park kind of food lover, I like to stick to the shit I know is fantastic, or pizza/buffalo wings/Hamburgers if I am unsure, and what the hell are you doing at a truck stop? I mean really? Only thing at those places are 55 yr old prostitutes and "chicken fried steak" and I want nothing to do with either of those thingslol...900 Grayson is a very fine restaurant (though it is a casual lunch and brunch venue).
I doubt there are many folks on this site who have a wider range of culinary tastes, or that spend more on fine dining than I do (though I encourage everyone to make me a liar
).
I am happy to drop 4 figures on a very advanced menu at the French Laundry or Manresa, but I'm also partial to home-style truck stop food, whether prepared by a Michelin decorated chef or the local pancake flipper.
Something prepared from reasonably fresh and unadulterated ingredients rather than processed 500 miles away...that's the key
