I was transporting 3 retired racing Greyhounds (mine) from Jacksonville, FL to Ft. Worth Meacham. Meridian Aviation at Key field in Meridian, Miss. was a fuel stop for us. No tie down or landing fees. Great pilot's lounge complete with free chilli dogs and ice cream. They brought the dogs into the lounge and offered the snacks. I let them have the hot dogs sans chilli since we still had quite a ways left to travel! Great FBO and service.

Sounds like you already made the trip though. I hope it was a good one.

Go to Millionaire in Alexandria, LA. The fuel is not cheap there, but Charlie has a Mercedes E350 and Jaguar you can take to go get some good cajun food. If you are there between 11 and 130pm, the kitchen at the FBO is excellent. You can eat for a buck and walk away full. The peach cobbler is very good.
If you miss the lunch at the FBO, they will sell you a coupon for a dollar and you can drive 5 minutes to a great BBQ place. The coupon is worth 10 bucks so you can fill yourself up. I think the places name was Elly's. Its a little dive place attached to a gas station.
