Roadrunner raised a red flag when I saw it was inside the visitor center. Nothing screams tourist trap like this location, and the prices didn't contradict.
That said, the ingredients are good, and everything else is quite high-end so with shipping to the dessert, the weight loss from your wallet can be a little bit justified.
Roast Beef with chimichurri is a cool combination,
but this thick prosciutto with fresh mozzarella, balsamic, and sweet roasted peppers is where it's at.
There's charcuterie for the road if you prefer gourmet salami and cheese. Not cheap, but it's local, and the ones we grabbed were great.
Wash down with a lot of artisan kombuchas from the fridge. This root beer is not my favorite, but this brand makes a pear and a few other fruit flavors that are to die for if you're a fan of fermentation.
Want something lighter? The Mezze Platter is the real MVP. Plenty of pita, a scoop of slightly-bland hummus to offset the salty feta and olives. Artichokes are amazing, and there's pickled onions and roasted red peppers, all on a bed of spinach. It's the first good platter in a plastic box I've had.
Kiddo loved this sugar-cookie cake, and I must say, so did I. Too soft to be a cookie, too solid to be a cake, enough sweetness to use up all your insulin. Irresistible if you like sugar cookies and cake and plenty of other options as well.

Alright, it could be worse. It's expensive but it's great for grab-and-go, as advertised. We were living on cold cuts this trip, and these were the better ones by far.
