From Forbes.com….
One of the greatest pleasures of traveling—currently just a pipe dream for most people—is the food of the region visited. It is utterly baffling to me that people who eat little but hamburgers at home will order them away from home. And odd as it seems, there are families on vacation who see the sights, ride the rides and take home the souvenirs, but try to save a few bucks by cutting back on the good regional food. I understand how expensive eating on the road can be, but I also believe that eating out at new and interesting places in new and interesting destinations is one of the principal reasons to travel at all. The Grand Canyon may nourish the soul but it does nothing for a growling stomach.
