We usually look for police cruisers and pick up trucks. Last year we were driving through Carlsbad, NM and it was a little early, like 5:20pm. Places were mostly empty. Wife insisted on Chili's. Not that big a fan of Chili's, but you know what you are going to get at least. I swear someone must have unloaded a bus because it was totally packed and full of people who were obviously from elsewhere. Every time I go into a Chili's that was that busy the service has been painfully slow, especially in small cities for some reason. I have 3 young children who are hungry, not doing that to myself. So I turned around, loaded the kids and drove down the street. Gambled on a local joint that had one pick up truck in front. "Danny's Place, Real Pit BBQ". It was awesome. By the time our food arrived the place was full and people were waiting to be seated. Sometimes gut feel and lucky works out.
