When traveling by myself, I like to stay away from any chain places to eat. I like the samll mom and pop diners. Usually they will have something unique on the menu, freindly people and good food.
Restroom/smoke breaks, I am not picky really at all as long as it is not too much off the path if I am headed somewhere. If I am just out and about riding to ride, I'll go out of the way, beacuse I can, and it could lead to road I haven't been on.
