I have ate enough hamburgers, hotdogs, pizza, steak, ham, and everything else.
I want something different! If I had the energy I would open a restaurant and call it Something different. Anyone who ordered a burger, might be banned for life?
Out here in the desert especially the options are even more limited Micky Ds and Cracker Barrel. I know the menue by heart! Don'' ask me though.
Wife isn't into cooking, on the road this trip.
I don't believe a steak wold whet my appetite after a week, right now.

What is it and where can I get some...within 50 miles???

Where are you? You don't have to say exactly, but a close enough yet still vague description will help to identify and suggest what foods might be available in that area.

Here are some ideas: Fish Tacos, Beef Stroganoff, Shepherds Pie, Goulash, Chili, Green Chile Stew (New Mexico dish). White Chicken Chili, or beef chili, or turkey chili, etc. Chicken Pot Pie.

Stuffed Bell Peppers. I have no idea where you are located, but my local Costco makes, from scratch every other day in their kitchen, Stuffed Bell Peppers. I love it, buy one every 10 days or so. It's really good.

Ham and Beans, with Cornbread, and even with Fried Potatoes.

Calzones are good. Fish dinners, Halibut, Catfish, Salmon, etc the list goes on. Don't eat Talipia, they are usually farm raised and nasty and not healthy. Otherwise Tilapia would be fine.

Stuffed chicken breasts. My local Sprouts Grocery makes them from scratch and puts them in the fresh meat case. Take home and bake it. Mighty fine.

Macaroni & Cheese. Variants include adding Green Chiles, I like to chop up a Brat and add, also a mild hot link like Earl Campbell Hot Link (the regular, not the Red Hot one)

Go pick up Chinese to go, get the lunch specials, in fact get an extra for the next day or so. Cheap and good.

When all else fails, just make breakfast, no matter what time of day it is.

Chicken Salad.

Got a Crock Pot? It's the original Set It And Forget It cooking thing.

Get the crock pot out, throw in a whole chicken, add a bag of frozen veggies, later throw in a tube of biscuits. Great Dinner. Just Google that. You'll love it. Save the broth, make home made chicken soup.
