Exploring Roadside Eats: The Best and Worst Foods for Bikers
Share
We have been traversing this fine country of ours on two wheels for well over two decades and have found that eating has become a cornerstone of the ride. This is why our mile-munching leader @jeffgholt started up @twowheeledfoodie on Instagram. To show you the wrongs and rights of road food. We decided to do a Best & Worst for the VTV website. So here it is!
As we all know, getting sustenance while rolling the highways and byways can be a very fun thing to do with friends and family, but it also has its pitfalls. And like y’all, we would much rather be racking up miles on the open road instead of being stranded in some random roadside bathroom. So here is our shortlist of suggestions to keep you off the pot and keep you riding high on the Hog.
Best foods for the ride:
-
Anything not fried. That grease will get you feeling sluggish. And cause Hershey squirts.
-
Fresh fruit: Bananas, apples, and oranges, but don’t leave 'em in your bags too long.
-
Simple sandwiches. Keep it like a 5th grader and go for a turkey and/or ham and cheese.
-
Power bars. Yes, these food bricks can break your teeth. Sit on them like an egg until warm.
-
Protein shakes. Every gas station has these now. They are low in calories & high in protein.
Worst foods:
-
Anything with Chili. This will have you stranded with shit-stained pants real quick.
-
Gas station premade sushi. Yes, this is a thing. And stay FAR away from it.
-
Fried fish. Yes, this always looks good on the menu, but trust us, it won’t EVER end well.
-
Slim Jim Meat Snacks. These do good for about an hour after eating. Then they want out!
-
Janky Chinese food. We don’t care if it's the only thing you can find for miles. Don’t do it…
