Every night she saved the last piece of pie with the name of whoever was still out on the road. Most nights in the eighties, it said Gene. I am Mrs. Doris, a school lunch lady from Scioto County for thirty-five years, and married forty-one years to a man who drove a truck. These are twelve plates from that counter the highway forgot: fried mush, chicken and slicks, the hot brown, a sandwich you ordered by a man's first name, the pepperoni roll, Lake Erie perch on Friday, biscuits and sawmill gravy at three in the morning, bean soup the night the road shut down, and the brain sandwich. #truckstop #nostalgia #lunchlady
