Speaking as somebody who has fairly rigid dietary requirements - please, please have at least some choice.

Also, I don't think anybody has mentioned this...

but if you can, avoid places with lots of smoke. I know in some states smoking in restaurants is entirely illegal. This is not the case for every state. No matter what your opinion is on smoke in public places, please understand that it is a painful thing to deal with (the smell) on a crowded bus.
