Yes!!  Used to go out of my way all the time to eat here!!  Called "Taste of India" out in the middle of nowhere.  Many times observed Hindi-speaking semi truck drivers getting large chai to go.  Fantastic food.  Incongruous location.

 

  Here in Madagascar our local gas station sells everything from baguettes, to cake slices, to pork or poultry baozi, which are kept in a small steamer on the counter.  My son loves them. At 30 cents apiece, I can almost keep up with his appetite for them!

  

 

Thanks for resurrecting @Darienne's comment from some years back and adding your own as it gives me a chance to share this LA Times article: Sikh drivers are transforming U.S. trucking. Take a ride along the Punjabi American highway.  It's not a food article but food certainly plays a role.

And: How a rural Oklahoma truck stop became a destination for Sikh Punjabis crossing America
