In the summer of 2013, Cash and I will be travelling across the American states in search of culinary challenges. Between us, we aim to win plenty o' T-Shirts and have our names blazoned upon the walls of fame. From now until then, we need to book our tickets, work out a route and indulge in some pre-arrival challenges here. Luckily, one of us has a food outlet of their own, where new and exciting recipes are always being invented and one of us has a stomach of steel ready for the spicy ones. We shall be updating this blog with our home and away conquests and triumphs, as well as stories of food babies, food contractions and food comas!

Day 9 - San Francisco to Winnamucca

Today, we are driving half way to Idaho. But first a visit to the roof top terrace-beautiful up here, just like in the movies when they jump from roof to roof, you could do it here. Cash made it up a few steps then came back. If we staying longer, I'd like to stay here again. Great accommodation and location! We ask one of the host's colleagues where is good to eat and he tells us we are in the city famous for its burritos. We search and find a popular and award-winning place called PapaLote - it is a small but very popular place with cans of sauce lying around, along with a big bucket of jalopenos...this is definitely my kinda place. nachos with guacamole and salsa fo free- 7/10 Sarah - Mexipino burrito with rice, tomato and chicken - 7.5/10 Cash - Super chicken Burrito, extra spicy and nachos with everything - 7/10. A bit wet, not fresh enough. I also notice that I have been bitten by a lone mosquito - all up right hand and arm plus my neck! They are gradually swelling and itching! 20miles from Lovelock, we stop at a rest area and pee down a hole. Although a little weird, there is something that is both windy and refreshing. Thank goodness for wetwipes! We have been driving for about 6hours straight or so. The sun shall be setting soon. 93F but with a cool breeze. I feel like I'm in the middle of a Marlborough Red advert. So picturesque - nothing but mountains for miles and miles and a few cars here and there. Passed a prison and a sign that says no hitchhiking! Coal Canyon is 1 mile away at exit 112. 67miles to go until our next instruction. Drinking a starbucks refreshers: juices, vitamins, ginseng, and green unroasted coffee beans! Feel a little more alert but could also sleep. Looking outside, the roads are all really straight and there are lots of partially blown tyres all over the roads! We pull up in Winnemucca, which is about half way to Idaho. We rent a room at the Sante Fe Inn for $85. The room is big and again, I feel like I've gone back in time. Tomorrow, get to see Mazza E and Spence! Yay!!
