When Traveling For Business, Always Eat for Pleasure

My spouse and I recently started a business and we soon discovered that we had to travel a lot more than we used to. Now don’t get me wrong, I love to travel but after a while traveling begins to wear on you and take its toll on you body and your mind. So you have to find ways to make traveling less wearing. Flying first class and renting a nice convertible car when you get to your destinations are great ways to improve the quality of your trips but having a good meal is probably one of the best ways that I improve my time away from home. Think about it; most people have a list of favorite places that they go eat in their own town. So if you’re traveling, you want to be able to find those same kinds of great places away from home, whether they are 5 star restaurants or diners.

With that in mind, I have put together a list of tips to help you on your next trip so that it is much more fun, enjoyable, and unforgettable.

Keep a food record Whenever you travel to another city, make sure that you keep a food journal or diary of where you ate. Every time you eat out, write down the name of the place where you ate, the address, and the item that you had from the menu. Make a note of whether or not the food that you had was good. This way you will have a reference of what is good and what is bad in a particular city; so when you go back to visit again, you don’t have to waste time trying to remember the place where you had the best steak or the best lobster.

Take a picture with the Chef Almost no one does this but if you think about it, who is the unsung hero of a great eatery? That’s right, the chef. Listen, I don’t care if this guy or gal is simply opening up a box of Marie Calendars and popping it in the microwave, make it a habit to always get a photo of the chef. This is fun because you’ll make his day. Plus you’ll have cool pictures to show your kids, friends and coworkers.

Talk to the locals There is nobody who knows where to eat and where not to eat better than a local. Talking to someone from the place where you are visiting could mean the difference between a horrible food experience and a great one.

Order Dessert to Go One of the best things we can do for another person is to give them something expecting nothing in return. When finishing your meal, call the waitress or waiter over and ask them to find out for you what another patron would like for dessert. Tell them to give them whatever they as for off of the dessert menu and to add it to your tab. Make sure that he doesn’t tell them that it came from you.

Traveling can be fun or it can be painful; but with these few tips, you have learned how to make the most of your trips whether they are for business or for pleasure! Bon Appetit!
