I have a vague memory of an article (articles?) in the National Geographic 
about Route 66 that talked about the food along the way. But I have 
absolutely no idea when.

OTOH, Andrei Codrescu's movie "Road Scholar" was pretty heavily into the 
food along the way- the scenes at the steakhouse are frightening (the 
steaks are HUGE). And the movie itself was hysterical (especially the 
'rebirthing' scene, and the van full of hippies in Santa Fe, driving around 
singing "Age of Aquarius" and nothing else...)
