Eat Local
Chris and I have committed to eating only at locally owned restaurants while on our Wedding Road Trip. Granted, some of these “restaurants” will be the dining room tables in some of the homes of our nearest and dearest. But still…
Eating local means no McDonald’s run in between Seattle and Boise, no Burger King dash between Las Vegas and Santa Fe, and no Chili’s side trip between Oklahoma City and Branson. It also means we’re not likely to gain ten pounds from high fructose corn syrup and partially hydrogenated oil consumption.
More importantly, we will be supporting the local businesses around the country who are most likely suffering from lost profits during this difficult time.
We’ll share the story of each of these restaurants with you as we make our way around the United States. In fact, if you know of one we should visit, please let us know!

As you may imagine, I LOVE this idea.
Are you coming this way? If so, I will get my list together. Ethiopian food here we come!
Allison- We are “doing” Fresno prior to the official trip- over Easter and during Sye’s wedding weekend. So let’s set up a night to go Ethiopian!
Ya this is totally where we need tips. We’re doing a trip to visit weddings - way too many this summer. Keep track of where you eat - I’m borderline vegan and hate the idea of eating nothing but McDonald’s salads on the road. They’re ok but I want to support local people. Besides the high school kids working at McDonalds.
Gwen is right on. That’s the big hurdle on a roadtrip - eating good. I can give you tips for New Jersey and Conn.
Excellent. -Kate
