I generally don't go to chain restaurants when traveling that are available where I live--with few exceptions. (For example, the Olive Garden in Times Square would be off limits when visiting NYC, but Waffle House is acceptable since there are none in California.) As for exceptions, going to somewhere like McDonald's in another country can be acceptable if the purpose is to try a menu item that isn't available in the US.
As for food in general, I'm not too big of a fan of mushrooms but I'll eat them if provided.

Most of my travel is personal so I have some flexibility. ^ Last time I traveled for business, however, I managed to accomplish that with no issues. (Hotel provided free breakfast and the conference provided free lunch, leaving only dinner to have to figure out.)

1) Ketchup goes on the side, never on top!
2) Gave up meat 3 years ago and haven't looked back. Would love to give up seafood but haven't gotten to it. Especially as it becomes harder to find wild caught fish at the typical grocery stores
3) I usually eat one thing on the plate at a time.
I would love to kick processed foods like most of you but haven't built the discipline for that yet

I hate food touching. Different foods need to be in their own area. I hate meat put on mashed potatoes, chips or vegies. Put it straight on my plate.
Me too. No mixing.
