Can't top Vin
Vinnissimo has hipped us to the beauty of Tennessee, but I'd like to share a link of my own: This is possibly the most horrible place on earth. If you've driven down I-95 through the Carolinas (such as driving from NY to Florida), you've seen the signs and passed the place. Just awful.
Now back to Vin's lovely tribute to the beauty of Tennessee.

wow...that advertisement is kind of...uh....less than culturally sensitive. but let's make sure to build a 2,000 mile fence along the real border.
i've driven by that place a few times and it is indeed scary.
the good the bad and the in-between
Yeah, can you believe the text on that site? Maybe that passes for funny somewhere, but I'm pretty sure that's not comedy gold. Horrible place, horrible web site.
It reminds me a bit of those old Warner Bros. cartoons where any ethnicity other than white was presented in a fairly grotesque caricature. Even as a kid, I remember finding those rather awful.
Again: the most horrible place on earth. I did a search on the guy who founded the joint and the quotes attributed to him were not entirely surprising. He was dragged kicking and screaming into the 20th century.

Probably off topic, but it came to mind:
The signature food of Rochester, NY is the "Garbage Plate", which is a combination of macaroni and cheese, hot dogs, beef, and - I think - white bread.
I'm not sure why Rochesterians decided this would be a good and emblematic food, but they did.
There's just something about roadside attractions and cafes that brings out the oddest bits of America.
