Do you have a GPS? If you do I would recommend  the POI factory
http://www.poi-factory.com/ and finding the "Offbeat tourist
attractions" & the collection for "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives".
They both offer places that I would have missed along the way. There
are "Man vs Food" collections too....

On a trip or two we have researched 'farmers markets' along our route
before we left (or while stopped on the way). With this and a sharp
eye out for roadside stands we can often find locally grown foods for dinner.
