Do yourself a favor and use this bucket list checklist before you get in the car:

  • Look at menus ahead of time if you're entertaining friends from out of town.
  • Invite family & friends that 'never try anything new' or always say 'there's nothing to do around here,' or complain how long it takes to drive somewhere new... on purpose.
  • Try something new or ask for their most famous/popular menu items/drinks.
  • Make a note of the spots you love and tell everyone you know.
