Skogafoss and I do this pretty regularly.
We vacation and go to specific places for food and groceries.
We've done a pizza tour of Chicago going to Lou Malnati's, Pizzaria Uno, Geno's East, Giordano's. We've also gone to Chicago to go to the ethnic markets.
We've gone to Gatlinburg, TN to eat BBQ ribs.
We think nothing of hopping in the car to drive to Philadelphia for philly cheesesteaks from Pat's King of Steaks, we're not partial to Geno's at all.
We've driven to Baltimore to eat Maryland crabs at Jefferson Market.
Madrid, Spain, we ate at Botin, the oldest restaurant in the world dating back to 1725 and the building it is in is from 1590. Hemingway wrote about it in "The Sun Also Rises".
We're going to Barcelona in September so I'm starting to scout medieval markets and restaurants to go visit.
One of our favorite restaurants here in NYC is Delmonico's which is the original and where many foods were invented like eggs benedict, baked alaskan, delmonico cut steak. Abe Lincoln and Andrew Jackson ate there.
We live near WD50, for some reason just haven't had the desire to eat there. I'm not sure why.
As far as road tripping, we're game to go for food any time. Really, the crab trip we were eating mediocre crabs at 12:30PM and by 4PM we were in the car heading to Annapolis.
