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.
To help you make the most of your traveling experience, here are four simple tips to aide you in making every trip an adventure you will never forget and long to return to.
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.
Get a picture with the chef Hardly anyone does this, but it can be a great memento of your trip. The chef at your favorite restaurant is the one responsible for your pleasant dining experience. This is something that will not only give you something interesting to tell people when you get home, but will give the chef something exciting to talk about as well.
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 that you can do for someone is to give to them when they are least expecting to get something. So after you have finished ordering and eating your meal, ask them to find out what another patron wants for dessert. Tell them that whatever dessert that the patron wants, add it to your bill. Be sure to tell the waiter or waitress that you’d like to remain anonymous.
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!
