Tips for eating on the road

When you pack your bags and head to another country, what's the first thing you do when you arrive? If you said "hit the bar", you're in the right ballpark, but what I was aiming for was food. An important part of travel is getting a taste of what your destination has to offer, literally. I'm fairly well travelled, and have eaten my share of "exotic" dishes, but I'll be honest... bad experiences don't sway me, I still love food. I decided to make a post about 3 things to keep in mind when your taste buds are looking for an adventure as well.
