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.

Orange County Local ACS Section. The format worked like a charm due to the responsive audience of ~40 people in a small space. My slides supported the discussion. Wonderful people.
The Section honored their 50 and 60 year members! They also won an award from National for their 25 year history of chemistry olympiad.
