List 6: Places to eat list
==================

While we were road-tripping across the USA, we’d usually arrive at our destination super late, low on energy as as hungry as a horse. The last thing we wanted to do was think about where to wait, so while Tom was driving, I’d be doing my research. Googling for awesome vegan cafes, scrolling through menus for things that sounded tempted, asking our members on CO+K for their top suggestions or looking at photos of the dishes I wanted to eat in the city we were about to arrive in on Pinterest. By the time we arrived, we could drive directly to the restaurant and sit down, knowing exactly what to order when the waitress came and how much it was going to cost it at the end. It was a real time saver and just what we needed after a long drive.

Since returning for our trip, I’ve kept the habit up, making a list of all the awesome new restaurants I want to try around the world and every time I spot an amazing looking cupcake in my RSS feed or a friend mentions eating a really good pho at a new cafe, I add it to my list, along with the address and what it is I’ll order. This comes in so handy when deciding where to go for lunch, planning a trip away and arranging to meet friends for food.
