I've started doing this on a regular basis on group rides... it's actually much more relaxing, don't have to deal with waiting for food, can have good conversation, and enjoy the world around you without a lot of ambient noise.The route that I put together for His Wheatness does go out to Coalinga so we can hit the steak joint (name?) there or just get sammiches and have a picnic along the road (there's a nice park along Old Coalinga Rd.).

I'm up for just getting sammiches and having a picnic along the road somewheres...
And easier on the pocketbook too...
