eating on the tour

Being a volunteer for the ACS Speaker Service has many advantages. One is experiencing regional cuisine.

Reno: college bar food - YUM!
OC: chicken with mushroom/wine sauce, wild rice, and veg.
Vegas: Sammy's Pizza and Caeser salad - also duck tacos!
Tucson: tenderloin medallions, polenta and salad.
ABQ: green chili, chicken enchilada - seriously SPICY!

The main ingredient for a great meal?

People at your table! Conversation!

Most breakfasts were coffee and pastry (or fresh fruit when possible) on the road. Lunch was some type of Mom & Pop roadside except for an original Bob's Big Boy - haven't had one of those in 20 years.

I managed to find fresh juice (greens & apple/carrot/ginger) in OC.

My main concern is being able to find my belly button after I return home.

  1. Yummy--- love food! It's nice to eat that which you don't normally. Don't worry, you're belly button will send out an SOS soon enough! :-)
    I'm off to the Brewfest in Seattle!
