Are you among the millions who will descend on the nation’s capitol next week? Are you already dreading the prospect of road food? Eat Well has been cooking up something to help you avoid it fast food travel plazas. No, we haven’t packed your lunch, but we’ve done the next best thing and created Inaugural Travel Guides to help you find good food along the way.
Traveling from New York or Chicago? Print out ready-to-go driving directions highlighted with sustainable food vendors all along your route. Driving in from somewhere else? Two minutes with Eat Well Everywhere will give you a custom trip book with the best co-ops, restaurants, and B&Bs along the way that serve up local, sustainably produced food.
For those of you who’ll be enjoying the festivities from afar, you can still find good food through the Eat Well Guide. Just type in a zip or postal code and get to searching. And let us know what you’re cooking for this historic day! Share recipe ideas/plans in the comment section.

Apparently chili is Obama’s favorite food to cook – so I’m going to make a big batch of spicy chili with some ground grass-fed beef! And cornbread!

I just wanted to point to Kerry’s article about this on Alternet – http://www.alternet.org/environment/120601/here%27s_how_to_eat_sustainably_on_your_way_to_the_inauguration_/
I’m staying in New York for the inauguration, and plan to make lots of cookies and Obama Pasta (using O-shaped pasta and an organic mushroom and parmesan sauce) in honor of tomorrow’s big day. And in the spirit of our new administration and the National Day of Service, I’m planning to volunteer at a local soup kitchen – we can all give our time by starting at http://www.usaservice.org. Yes We Can!
