When you travel as much as I do, you often eat alone in restaurants. Eating at your own pivate table is nice sometimes, when you need some quiet time, but otherwise, is not so much fun.
I almost always eat at the bar if that is possible. Especially at airports. If nobody is around, I can usually pull up my laptop and go online, but usually not for long. I always have someone sit close to me and easily find some reason to start a conversation. Some people think you are creepy, but most of the time, I find something we can talk about.
Since my profession involves classic cars. I often get into a conversation where someone will say something like , "My dad had a 1956 Chevy."
But, there are endless conversations just waiting to happen between people stuck eating at a bar because they are doing a job out of town.
So, this new thread is about getting something to eat leading to making a new friend -- even if you don't remember their name when its done.
Please tell us your stories.
