[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've got a hard and fast rule when traveling - I don't eat anywhere I can eat back home unless there's no other option.

Big cities - I meticulously research and plan most meals because every city has amazing food if you know where to look and who knows if I'll ever get a chance to come back.  Eater, city subreddits, Michelin guide, etc. are all good resources.

Suburbs, small towns, and rural areas are harder. If there's transit I'll usually go into the city for dinner. If I'm stuck in some office park I'll Ubereats everything unless there are decent local restaurants within walking distance. Make sure you Google Maps restaurants before ordering because the ratings on Ubereats do NOT correspond to reality.

Generally I'll try to go with whatever the local ethnic specialties are, but if I'm really in bumblef*ck it ends up being a lot of pizza and chinese. [/quote]

Same. I’m not eating sad oatmeal cups in a different place than where I live.[/quote]

I've had some horrible hotel breakfasts so now I am happy to eat a sad oatmeal cup and fruit in my room to get fueled for the day.  I'm also not a morning person so it helps me get out the door to have something quick and easy.

I travel to a lot of small cities for work.  For lunch, I'm flexible and usually ask the local staff at the office I'm working out of where they like to go. If they suggest some nasty hole in the wall where "everyone goes," I'm completely fine opting for a chain.  I do end up eating a lot of sandwiches.  Most places have a good sandwich shop around.

For dinner, I try to scope out the options ahead of time.  I've been able to find good food everywhere.  Even if there's not much healthy food, I like to try the local specialties.  I ate a lot of bison and steak while visiting different sites all around Montana and a lot of brisket in TX. Thankfully, most of the time I was able to find sides that weren't fried or full of butter to have with them.  I'm not big on chain restaurants but I'm a sucker for a butter burger at Culver's if there's one where I go.

I also try to do workout regularly when I'm away....some of the food is heavy.
