The most positive comment I can make, is to search out types of food which cover basic nutritional needs and are essentially kosher by their nature. In many areas of the US, these include Yogurt, canned fish, "Wasa" bread, milk, cerial, uncut (if possible) green vegitables. For most of the area of the US, eating a real mean in a real restaurant means waiting for a trip to NYC, Miami, or Toronto. Eating kosher in general suroundings is not glamorous, but I don't recall any tenet of Judaism that says Mitzvot = glamour.
