When finding restaurants, try not to think about it as your one shot. Instead, think about it as an adventure.
Something I wrestle with is putting pressure on myself to find the best possible food experience I can get while I’m in a new town. Just like you might kick yourself if you missed a rare museum experience, I used to kick myself if I missed a rare food find. Lately, though, I look at it as finding a meal that makes me happy and makes the trip exciting, but doesn’t necessarily have to be THE ONE. This may mean going to a restaurant based on how many Michelin Stars it received, whether it is a James Beard Winner, or if it is owned by a Food Network Star.
However, you may want to be a trailblazer who tests out a local dive and learns from the experience. That may mean going to a no name place with food that hits the spot and provides cooking ideas, but may be nothing to write home about.

At the end of the day, picking a restaurant is about picking what you want from the moment. Don’t kick yourself for the food you didn’t eat, figure out how to enjoy and understand the food you do.
