Taking I-5, then 140 from Gustine to Merced, seems to add most of an hour to the trip without much to show for it.

For me, taking this alternate route (Hwy 140 from I-5) only adds about 15-20 minutes (at most) to my trip via 140. And according to Google Maps it should add about 19 minutes to the trip, so I'm not sure why it has taken you a lot longer.

I'm a big yelp.com fan for scoping out places to eat.

La Hacienda in Merced, G street, right near the 99. Very unexpectedly great Mexican food.

It's behind the "Roadside Rest" that's to the left of the museum. I like their sushi.Quote

The Pioneer Market in Mariposa was mentioned here. A few years ago, while driving thru Mariposa on my way back to
the Valley, I tried to find Pioneer Market. Trouble was I couldn't remember the name or the address, I had seen the
advertisements it runs in the Fresno Bee, and also had heard from people who shopped there regularly.
Don't worry.... that store closed and it closed for the reasons you mentioned. The freezer unit is so old it runs on ammonia. I was going to play around with making a business plan to turn that store into a gym, but it's so old and dated it would cost way too much to refurbish it. If there is any asbestos in that building, and I assume there is, the cost would be even higher.Quote
In error, I wound up at some other supermarket instead, I think right on Hwy. 49? Even if I could remember the name of it,
I don't think I'd mention it here ("if you can't say something nice..." ). The place was a throw-back to a small 1960s supermarket
(which in and of itself is not a bad thing), but very dimly lit, worn and dirty inside, cluttered, and small open refrigerator cases that
definitely looked 1960s-vintage, with just a few sorry-looking, graying packages of meat, and a whole lot of empty space around
them in the refrigerator case. Reminded me of the tales I'd heard about markets in the Soviet-era USSR.
It was beyond the owners too. The Pioneer Market is bright, clean, updated, expanded, but, as is for any country market, a bit more expensive.Quote
Thinking I was at the Pioneer Market I had read and heard so much about, I couldn't figure out what all the excitement was about.
How this other market I was at stays in business is beyond me...
