A Blog for Foodies on the Road

Hello fellow BER Program Managers! Have you gotten incredibly sick of food options on the road? Have you had one too many bad meals or hotel lunches? Is the lack of bagels making your tummy growl more often? Do you dream wistfully of simple spaghetti, a decent sandwich, authentic ethnic food, or a fresh stir-fry? Let's help solve the problem of "where do I eat today?" by creating a database via this blog.

Here's how I envision this working: Find a decent meal somewhere and post about it here, adding tags for city, type of food, price range, and whatever else we decide to tag on. Pictures are encouraged, but not required. Please include the address or general location, any recommendations of what to order while you're there, and whether it's accessible from a specific hotel by walking/shuttle or requires a car/taxi. Add stories, side comments, and whatever else you want, as long as it focuses on food. Above all, TAG TAG TAG! Because that's the magic: when you arrive in a city and are unsure of what to eat, go to the tag list and find your city. Once we all contribute for a while, we should develop a good sized list of eating options across the country, and none of us will ever have to fear another crappy dinner.

Hopefully we can create a useful site that can facilitate not only tasty meals, but even more camaraderie between all of us traveling nomads. Feel free to add in stories, fun tidbits, local color, and whatever else made your meal enjoyable. The only thing I'd ask us to refrain from is naming names in a negative light, especially when it comes to presenters. Make up a name instead, to protect the not-so-innocent. Here's to good food, good friends, and safe travels.

Cheers!
