Generations of New Orleanians with sweet tooths have looked up at a brown and neon sign flashing the words “A. Brocato Spumone and Cassata Ice Cream” against a stark blue sky.

Kingston, NY

In Kingston, New York, off a roundabout where Route 28 meets Interstate 87, a drive-thru beckons with a red script font that glows “Moonburger,” serving vegetarian cheeseburgers and oat milkshakes. It’s a set-up familiar to anyone who has detoured off a main road for an easy enough burger in a rush. But Moonburger has several factors that differentiate it from the chain roadside attractions nearby — and not just because it calls food insiders like cookbook author Alison Roman a collaborator.
