Forget fast food: Eat like a chef on your road trip. - SF Gate
Ah, summer travel, out on the open road, windows rolled down, breeze in your hair. That's the fantasy anyway; in reality you're probably sitting in snarled traffic with the A/C full blast, hoping the ride only takes twice as long as you had planned. All the more reason to pack some really good food for the trip. Having a stash of tasty, healthful food takes an oversize element of stress out of the picture, ensuring you have premium fuel for your body and eliminating the risk of having to choose between the often sad, low-quality options along the highway. For fresh, summer road food ideas, I asked some of the country's top nutrition-focused culinary professionals what they bring for travels by car, plane or train.
