Have your fast food destinations changed?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
This past weekend was my son’s first soccer tournament of the fall. We found ourselves heading up to Marietta every day right after breakfast and heading back right around lunch time.
While we formerly would have stopped at a traditional “fast food” restaurant for burgers and fries, this time we didn’t. As I looked around while driving, I realized there are so many new options for healthier and more interesting dining on the road. I was able to bypass the usual joints to have something healthier and more filling for post-athletic fueling. They might be slightly more expensive, but at least I feel better feeding it to my kids. When I checked with my husband, he too had chosen a non-burger lunch while on an outing with my other son.
Do you deviate from the typical drive-in route to take advantage of healthier options while you are on the road or is the “golden” standard still your fast-food place of choice?
