The new hot soup bar at the Knoxville Flying J.
After answering the question, “Where can I stop for fuel?” Pilot Flying J has developed a new answer to another important question drivers on the road ask on a long drive: “Where can I get a good meal?”
In another enhancement to its already wide menu of food options, Pilot Flying J is getting customers off to a “sunny head start” on the road with a new breakfast bar featuring home-style choices such as biscuits and sausage gravy and southwest egg scramble.
A new hot soup bar is serving offerings such as chicken noodle soup and chili to satisfy customers’ growing need for wholesome choices on the road.
“Our hot breakfast and soup bars offer a selection of delicious, hearty meals,” said Jimmy Haslam, chairman for Pilot Flying J. “Our team worked diligently to provide a range of choices to suit all tastes – from low-fat, low-sodium oatmeal or low-fat chicken noodle soup for the health-conscious diner to a rich broccoli cheese soup for when you’re craving a bowl of satisfying comfort food.”
Drivers can get a sunny head start by stopping by the Pilot Flying J breakfast bar, available from 6-10 a.m. daily. The breakfast bar features steel-cut whole grain oatmeal; cheesy hash brown casserole with sausage; a hearty southwest egg scramble; cinnamon apples; biscuits and gravy featuring freshly cooked ground sausage; and breakfast pizza.
The hot soup bar is available from 10 a.m.-10 p.m. daily and serves up chicken noodle soup with fresh herbs; hearty, zesty beef and bean chili; loaded potato soup; broccoli cheese soup; and velvety macaroni and cheese.
