How do you find good food while traveling?
 

I'm looking for websites that tell about interesting & tasty places to eat while on the road, or at a destination site. Who can help me out!!! Thanks.

www.roadfood.com and www.egullet.com

Reading posts right here, I have found more fun, quirky, original eateries than in any travel book or website! I know you also recommend fine dining, etc., but I love to experience local 'flavor'.
Thanks!

If you can stomach this suggestion:

Rachel Ray [ I know, I know] suggests that you ask locals as they are the ones who deal with places on a regular basis. If you are to believe her, it kind of makes sense.

I live in a tourist destination, and I eat at places over and over again.

A tourist may only try a place once; love it or hate it, and never return.

I am not saying thanks folks on a board don't know beans about good food, but locals might just be source as well. IMHO of course..

Along those lines, cars in a parking lot - especially midday.

If the parking lot is full outside a nondescript eatery, ya know the food inside is good.

I've pulled quite a few Uturns in new places - and gone back to such a place and haven't been disappointed yet.

I agree with Starrs.. that is a pretty good indicator. Did that in Hilo and had an excellent meal.

Also, check out the chamber of commerce, tourist bureau for ideas.

Ask people as they exit a restaurant if they would go back again. Better than asking how was your meal, which they may just answer good.

Roadfood.com, and the local newspaper websites "best of" selections.

Fodor's under various destinations forums has tons of food and restaurant info.
