Where to chow down on your road trips

If you're a foodie, you might envision experiencing your very own version of "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" during a Memorial Day or summer road trip. But unlike Guy Fieri and his apparently endless supply of to-die-for joints, you might not always be in areas with appealing quirky or quaint local eateries. So use our advice to find the best of the national chains.

If you won't have time to eat breakfast before you hit the road and will want a quick bite, check our review of fast-food egg sandwiches. We analyzed the nutrition of sandwiches from Burger King, Dunkin' Donuts, McDonald's, Starbucks, Subway, and Wendy's. Watch our video to find which low-fat selection tasted best.
