years. But in addition to the crispyshelled vegetable samosas and
aromatic chicken biryani, the
menu holds unexpected delights,
such as a fish tikka masala featuring salmon simmered in deeply
spiced tomato-cream sauce.
● You can smell the succulent meats
at Blue's BBQ, an eatery in a Cenex
in Billings, Mont., long before you
taste them. Stoked with a blend of
hardwoods, its 10-foot-long smokers cook baby back ribs, brisket,
and more. Anoint your choice cut
with the house sauce-spicy or
mild-add pit-baked beans and
coleslaw or potato salad, and
you've got some serious 'cue.

best, with house-made dough and

tomato sauce, beautifully blistered
crust, and toppings ranging from
pepperoni to jalapeños. The oven
also produces warm, pillowy
naan-cooked individually for each
order-that makes a perfect partner to servings of lamb shawarma
and falafel with hummus.

A roadside attraction since the
1920s, Dateland appears like a
mirage as you're driving through
the desert on I-8 between Gila
Bend and Yuma in southwestern
Arizona. Outside, there's a date
grove. Inside, the food court is an
oasis of date treats: ice cream, pies,
muffins, cookies, and bread-but
above all, milk shakes. To make
the shakes liquid enough to sip
with a straw, the chefs use only one
type of date: the thinner-skinned,
melt-in-your-mouth medjool, a
variety once reserved for Moroccan
royalty. - c h r i s to p h e r h a l l
