Hey, anyone out there live in or near Sheridan, Wyoming? My wife and I are planning our Westward drive-across-America for this summer (readers may recall that the Goldbergs decamp thataway pretty much every summer). One of the great discoveries we made two summers ago was arguably the single best piece of cake in America: The almond joy cake at the Empire Grill in Sheridan, Wyoming. We were planning on routing ourselves through Sheridan just to get another slice. But now it looks like their website is defunct. Is it no more? Has it changed names?

And, as always, we’ll appreciate other suggestions and tips of this sort (great dog spots, great places for kids, great road food) from NRO readers. Though with gas prices and my recent bank-account-draining tax filing, we may simply live off jerky this summer. And not the good jerky either.

Update: Alas, the Empire Grill is no more.
