Tis the season to be snowboarding and skiing. And for San Franciscans, that means road trips to Tahoe a plenty. For us the big question always is where to eat? You may well accuse us of thinking too much of our bellies, but believe us, after all that energy expended on the slopes, we always feel like we deserve a hearty meal. We thought we'd share a few of our finds in the hope that our readers have a few Tahoe travel gems to share too.

Before we even hit the slopes, there is the journey to think of. From the Bay Area, there is along drive ahead.

After a gazillion journies to and from Tahoe, we have come to rely upon Davis as the best place enroute to stop for some chow.
