At the Akal Travel Center truck stop in Laramie, Wyoming, the Indian food that Mintu Pandher and his staff are cooking up in a small kitchen attracts truckers and locals from miles around, with food they can't find anywhere else along Interstate 80. Turns out there's money in all those smells of turmeric, coriander, and other spices rarely used in truck stop cuisine: his café is a hit, especially given the changing face of trucking, since nearly 19% of long-haul truck drivers in America are now immigrants.

Sikhs make some really good Punjabi food. Truth.

I wouldn't want to be stuck in a vehicle after Indian food.

No kidding. I’d have to hang around after I ate just to make sure my stomach was ok. No way I’m heading out right after eating.

Imagine being a long-haul trucker, loading up on Indian, and getting on the Basin Bridge. That would be Indian Roullette.

It is actually worse leaving out of Laramie and going west on I-80.

That's one desolate stretch of highway. On the other hand, it's goddamned beautiful driving with those mountains to look at.
