Covid certainly has changed the world of travel. I’ve had to
cancel two major trips this year and I’m sure that others have had to cancel
long anticipated trips, as well.
When Americans travel these days, it is mostly domestic and
very often by car rather than by plane. While a great many restaurants are open, many
are operating at reduced capacity. Some people are choosing only to dine on-site if
outdoor seating is available. However, curbside pick-up is readily available
and when traveling, that might be your best or even your only option in some locales.
So how can you make the most of your curbside pickup? It’s
not particularly appetizing to eat out of a Styrofoam box, using the plastic
flatware that the restaurant may or may not have remembered to stick in with
your food.
The best solution is to take some simple dishware and
flatware with you. There are some nice affordable options on the market.
If you’re traveling solo, a simple lunchbox like this one
might suit your needs. It comes with its own flatware. The bonus is that is
that it snaps shut, which makes it a great way to safely stow leftovers in your
cooler or hotel fridge.
If you’re traveling with others, you might want something more
substantial. I love this backpack that came with everything needed to dine away
from home, including service for four, a small cutting board, a sharp knife, and
salt and pepper shakers. I’ve taken this thing on several trips with me,
including sailing trips when no galley was available.
Oh – and it also comes with a corkscrew and four wine
glasses. That definitely improves the quality of your on-the-go dining
experience.
