Trip Grub

As we have covered before, it's not easy to eat right when on the road. There are ways, and it can be done. The most reliable way is to pack your food and bring it with you. Not always convenient, but it does work.

There are times, however, when you just don't have any food to pack, and you end up having to eat what you can get when on a trip. When only limited to fast food, I typically make the choice of Wendy's. Why? First off, on your burger you get actual leaves of lettuce and a slice of tomato rather than what remains when you put lettuce and a tomato through a paper shredder. And, the story of Dave Thomas and the formation of the Wendy's empire is a really cool one.

However, this is still typical fast food when talking burgers. So, today I decided to go for something new. A Wendy's salad. I chose the BLT cobb salad. I wasn't expecting more than a little bowl filled with burger accessories. I was wrong. Quite wrong, in fact. What I had was simply magnificent! Honest! It was easily as good as any cobb salad I have had in a traditional restaurant. It really was very very good. Blew me away.

I also feel the need to admit that while this salad was quite good, that "full" feeling didn't last very long. :( Maybe I need another?
