When I travel on vacation, I make it a point NOT to patronize corporate chain restaurants. In other words, if I can get it at home, then I pass. I like to experience the unique places in a given travel destination.

Once each year, I travel to California in late Spring and one town, Davis CA, there are pretty good places to eat at in downtown. In fact one place - Crepeville, they do not even take credit cards ! The food is good. I cannot get it at home in Colorado.

Yeh. Sitting in the middle of Wisconsin with a strong hankering for a stuffed sopapilla smothered in green chile sauce from the Elkhorn Cafe, Pagosa Springs...
