We really enjoy finding farmer's markets and local foods. Ever since the trip to Kentucky, I like to see what good places there are to buy bourbon :)
On one trip, we actually detoured to go through Kentucky. I'm not a bourbon fan, but the Bourbon Trail was too strong a pull!
Our last trip to FL and back, we planned our route back to enjoy the local foods - shrimp and grits (GA), lo'boys (SC), etc. I think half the fun of longer trips is definitely finding regional food and drinks. I advise to stay away from blueberry 'wine' though (Maine). It really wasn't good. The maple syrup (NH) however was divine. Every state has its own flavors. Half the fun of exploring the country is tasting it.
