5 Techniques To Find The Place To Eat On A Road Trip

Nutrition is an important aspect that many people ignore when they are on a road trip on a two-wheeler.  You do not necessarily need to eat multiple times unless you are actually hungry but you should not ignore your regular meal timings either.  A major reason travelers miss their meal timings is because they do not get what they expect out of the places they halt to have their meals. Here are five techniques to find the perfect place to eat on your next road trip.

Avoid Popular Hotspots For Your Meals

If you want to eat on time and get on with your journey without suffering a huge amount of delays every time you stop to have your meals then you must avoid popular hotspots that are choked full of tourists and local patrons. These places will usually take longer to serve and you might have to wait in line to get your food. The other problem with such places as lack of parking space is which should not be a huge problem if you are riding a motorcycle but if you are in a car it might take additional time to find a parking spot. You can have a couple of such places on your list of places to see on your trip but do not entirely depend on these for your meals especially if you are running short on time. Check out less popular spaces and if you do not mind try roadside eateries that are equally good and serve great meals at affordable prices.

Check Out Local Reviews and Traveler Reviews

Online reviews and traveler accounts of good places to eat are very useful when it comes to finding the right spot to have your daily sustenance. These are usually not colored by opinions and definitely not paid by marketeers, which makes such small but good places deserving of your money and time. Riding groups usually have a list of such unique places and if you are a part of a group, find out what they recommend for the destination you are heading into. Here you can also know about 5 Pro Tips for Group Motorcycle Riding. 

The Rule Of Asking Thrice

One technique for finding good places in an unknown location, be it for meals or for accommodation, is to ask the same question three times to different people. If you have two different answers the third answer serves as a tie-breaker. The trick is to ask pointed leading questions like: what’s the best place for vegetarian food here? Where can I get south indian food here? If you ask general questions such as ‘is there a restaurant nearby?’, You will get different answers all the time, or disinterested shrugs or random finger pointing! The second trick is to ask the right question, if you are on the highway and you ask for a restaurant you are less likely to get a good answer, but if you ask about a good ‘Dhaba’, chances are you will be pointed to the right direction.  

Where Are Frequent Travelers Eating?

Look for blogs and traveler’s forums for useful information. Food is a hotly-discussed topic among most travelers and you are bound to find some bearing on good places dotting the destination. If you can’t find anything useful, just ask away! Most people on the forum are avid travelers themselves and will have some information that might help you.  

Download Food Delivery Apps

Food delivery apps work great as an information gathering tool. If you have never been to a certain place and you do not see any item on the menu that you recognize the simplest way to get around the problem is by downloading food delivery apps. These apps have many different vendors listed which makes it simple for you to pick one that items you recognize and then place your order accordingly. The other way to use these apps is to find out the names of locally popular dishes and then ordering them either through the app, or by visiting any nearby restaurant.
