I've been spending a lot of time in the car lately between a brand new commute and a recent weekend warrior trip to LA, which got me thinking about gluten free road trips and the availability of gluten free food on the road. Luckily, the glowing yellow arrow of the In-N-Out sign burns bright on I 5 on the trek south, so I know I can always find solace in a double double, animal and protein style, which is code for two giant patties wrapped in lettuce and topped with fried onions. Classic roadtripping food.
Starbucks may have pulled their valencia orange and almond cake off the menu, but they've replaced them with Kind Bars, which though not a whole meal, will hold you over until the next In-N-Out burger surfaces like a mirage in the desert.
A quick iPhone search displays a few gluten free McDonald's options, none of which are very tasty, but fill the void and ward off grumpy gluten free types. A convenience store stop provides chips and the occasional Lara bar, if you're extremely lucky.
Mainly, I pack my own snacks and keep my eyes peeled for the yellow arrow pointing to gluten free roadtripping heaven. What's your go-to gluten free road trip food?

Around here Wendy's is my go-to place for quick cheap and tasty food. For five bucks I have chili with onions and cheese (yup, non glutened cheese)a sour cream and chive baked tater and a sizable salad. Oh... and normally a small frosty as well. I love me my Wendy's!
It is one of the few places that has safe food that is also tasty.
MMm, Castal, you have me craving a baked potato now. I haven't tried Wendy's since I've been GF, but I'll have to consider it on the next roadtrip. Thanks!
