You said San Francisco - find an In N Out, get a double double and animal style fries.

In reply to Brokeback:
Will do.
When you come through Portland, let me know and I'll take you too Little Big Burger, Foster Burger and Dick's Primal Burger.

Sounds good!

Make sure you bookmark bathrooms for thr next 250 miles when you do.
Second page and no one is talking about the vehicle choice?
East-Central Illinois has a place called Moonshine where they supposedly have the best burgers in the area. It's almost literally out in the middle of nowhere. I'd take you there if you make it through Marshall Illinois.
If you get down to the DFW area in Tx you should stop in at the Burger Barn in Denton. Nothing really special about the place since they moved out of the barn, but half pound patties Cooked to order (how rare do you want it) and fries cut from real potatoes every morning.
Look me up I can show you where it's at. (Two turn tables and a microphon) 
You can find all kinds of weirdness for your road trip at this site: http://www.roadsideamerica.com/ You can map it out and everything.
That's where I learned about the Big Mac Museum some years ago. Over in North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. It was worth the stop, at last in my and my son's opinion. Wife, she wasn't so sure.

I have a sudden urge to visit Chicago.
If you make it to north Mississippi, let me know and we can get some real BBQ
When you make it to San Francisco, I'll meet you for In N Out. If you are burgered out by that point, we can go get some Pho.
Columbia MO here!

Plumb your exhaust right, and you should get better gas mileage.
If these guys are all buying lunch, your food budget should be pretty small! The London visit is still on if you are passing by. You mentioned relatives that needed visiting.
In reply to captdownshift:
I used to go to a bull roast over in Odenton many years ago, I think the place was called the Gambrills Arhletic Club? Anyway, your post reminded me of that. So, thanks for making me drool on my sweater. ;-)

Where is this Italian Beef, and how does it stack up to either Johnnies, Portillos, or Lukes?
After this trip, you may want to gut, or discard the interior of whatever machine you'll be driving. The thought of a cross-country drive, eating nothing but junk food makes me pity the seats you'll be desecrating!
That said---- this is a fantastic idea, and one you should absolutely do! Just make sure the vehicle you pick has at least a reasonable chance of making it......and windows and ventilation that work well. (if you are going to White Castle.....you'll need plenty of ventilation! )
If you find yourself on I-80, driving through Western Nebraska, you should stop at Ole's Big Game Cafe. That is......if you don't mind eating a burger while hundreds of animals look down upon you with accusatory glances!

Also if you find yourself on I-80 through Illinois, stop at Rip's Tavern for some Fried Chicken. Better like grease--absolutely the best fried chicken in the world (Yes, the best fried chicken in the world is in the North)
Thanks for the ideas and invitations to visits, guys! This is going to be great.
If you go through Texas, many of us will treat you to our candidates for best burger or BBQ.
