What and where do chasers eat?
Most chasers consume the fatty convenience-store and fast food diet when on the road, in the interest of saving time; however, nutritious eating is not difficult for those willing to run into a local full-service grocery store. Non-perishable groceries can be a great way to save money and maintain healthy eating habits; but the lure of a steaming-hot Allsup’s burrito is powerful. After the chase day ends, many chasers can be found congregating in the nearest major town’s buffet-style eatery (e.g., Golden Corral or Sirloin Stockade); and 24-hour diners such as Denny’s and Kettle are also popular. One of the unique advantages to chasing — which has nothing to do with weather — is the opportunity to sample amazingly flavorful local cuisine — say, a from a German family restaurant in a small Iowa town, or a nostalgic road shack in west-central Texas serving up mesquite-smoked pit barbecue.
