Make Your Business Trip More Fun With Food
Posted by Dorthy Weatherbush | Filed under Travel
Recently my wife and I opened a business and found that our travel itinerary increased dramatically. Now, like any one, I love traveling but it does begin to wear on you the more you find yourself away from home. With that said, there is one benefit to traveling that we find most enjoyable. Yes, flying first-class is a great perk and renting a convertible in sunny California is nice however my favorite traveling experiences is tasting all of the wonderful cuisine that each city we travel to has to offer. Think about the city in which you currently live. Don’t you have your list of the best restaurants that you love to frequent? In fact, many of these places are probably not what many would call five star restaurants rather they are probably a lot of diners, drive-ins and dives that would make the top of your list.
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.
Begin to keep a food diary When traveling to a place you’ve never been to before, every time you eat out, whether its room service or take out, grab a copy of the menu and note the name, address, phone number and what you had to eat. If the experience was good make a note and if it was bad, make a large note. This is helpful because if you have to travel there again, you don’t have to try to remember the name of the place, where it was and more importantly, what you had to eat.
Take a picture with the chef Taking a picture with the chef can be an interesting thing to do when visiting another city. It gives you the chance to meet the person who is responsible for your tasty dish and offers the chance to meet someone knew. The pictures you will have for a lifetime and will be a good conversation starter when your return home.
Ask a local If you really want to find out what’s good to eat, ask a local. They will be able to tell you better than anyone what’s good and what ain’t. They can truly make the difference between a boring food experience and an exciting one.
Order Dessert To Go Instead of treating yourself to dessert, try treating some unsuspecting restaurant patron to dessert. Tell the waitress that you are going to pay for a particular person’s dessert, whatever they want. Tell her that you’d like to remain anonymous. Now see how good it feels to do something for somebody else without any recognition.
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!
