Why do you want consistency?

I like to know what to expect when I am looking for something to eat and then get back to work.

I want to sample what that town has to offer

I get that and I used to do that when the option was there for me. Much of the time, I was in a situation where the time set aside for meals only allowed for that occasionally. When I did have time, I would typically ask some of the local guys I worked with where they would like to go, my treat. What that equated to would sometimes vary depending on if I was working with techs or engineers.

I travel a lot as well. I always do my homework and find locally owned restaurants in the area I will be. The 10 minutes of research is worth not having to eat Chili’s baby back ribs for dinner.

My traveling days are mostly behind me now, I should have pointed that out. It's been more than a decade since I did that consistently. You could research back then but not as easily as now and I am sometimes lazy LOL.

What’s the fun in eating something I could get at home?

Yeah, I get that. For me it was primarily what I talked about at first, more of a fuel stop than a culinary experience I guess. I just want good service and good food consistently.
