What do you want at the rest stop?

If you're doing a long ride, like a metric or full century where you pay a registration fee to an organization that plans the route and offers rest stops with food and drink, what kinds of food do you like at the rest stop? Do you prefer different foods later in the ride, say 20 miles from the end, than you like at the earlier stops?
Since weather can play a role here, I'm specifically thinking of a late summer ride, when it will typically be warm to hot -- temps in the 80s at least, maybe in the 90s and humid. But it's possible that mother nature will throw a curve ball and it will actually be cooler -- 70s or even high 60s -- and rainy or cloudy. What foods would you eat regardless of the weather vs those that you prefer on a hot day or a cooler day?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this.
