I've loved the Blue Ridge Parkway since I was a child. It's a beautiful place, with fine views and a gracefully curving road. I noticed a change this time that I didn't like: the snack bars no longer serve fresh food. This is bad news for those of us with food allergies! The sandwiches are pre-made and packaged in a factory, so there is no way to get a wheat-free version (also known as a small salad).
I was really hungry when we got to the snack bar in Crabtree Meadows which is still listed as a "restaurant" in some publications. After seeing that there was nothing allergy-safe for me to buy there, I was glad that I had an emergency food supply in the car. I wound up feeding myself three ounces of canned tuna
, some rice crackers, and applesauce. Frank also decided against the refrigerated sandwiches because they looked unappetizing and bought candy instead.
