Serious Eats: Talk

Question of the Day: Hit the road

Posted by Adam Kuban, June 15, 2007

With the summer driving season under way and Serious Eats overlord Ed Levine in Aspen, Colorado, I've been thinking about car food.

What do you pack for a day trip or a long trek cross country? Or do you prefer to stop at local joints along the way? Alternatively: What's the easiest food to eat while driving? (Not that we at Serious Eats condone DWEs, of course.)

My own answer: I typically pack a few sandwiches in a small cooler to be used as back-up rations if all I encounter is crap or if making good time supersedes stopping. I find White Castle (or Krystal Burger, in the South) to be great behind-the-wheel eats. They're so tiny that you can manage them easily -- but you have to drive with the windows down.
