onoway Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 A friend was telling me how difficult figuring out what to have for lunch can be. She works and says she feels like she's been stuck in a rut. I'm couldn't come up with anything off the top of my head that helped, so I thought I'd ask what other people like for everyday lunches?

blackshoe Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Sushi. There's a place here that makes a pretty good five cheese panini (basically a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich with gouda, provolone, cheddar, pepper jack, and Swiss, and tomatoes. I'm trying to persuade them to add bacon. Add a cup of soup of your choice, or a salad, or both. Curried chicken salad. Local bar/restaurant here has half-price appetizers 4:30-6 PM (not lunch time, I know). We had tortillas with Buffalo chicken dip, Portobello mushroom strips, and quesadillas the other day. It was pretty good. Any Indian food. Cappellini with butter and Parmesan cheese (or oil and garlic), a salad, a glass of Chianti. Cheese platter with good French bread and perhaps some Paté. Good New York deli sandwiches (roast beef on rye, Reuben, whatever you like). Deviled eggs and a salad (soup?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y66 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 A lot of choices within a block or two of where I work including a decent cafeteria. I usually go for salad bar, vegetable curry, sushi or bring leftovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S2000magic Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 If I were going out to lunch, it'd be sushi or Thai or Chinese. I frequently make my lunch, and it tends to be tuna salad (tuna, celery, parsley, capers, sour pickles, olive oil, dijon mustard, chilis, slivered almonds), or tabouli, or leftovers from dinner (chili, stew, salad, whatever).

Fluffy Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Just meat steak with fried potatoes. Also love spaghetti with tomato sauce and cheese. Between these 2 they make about 30% of my meals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunnyGo Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Lately I've been enjoying a big bowl of humus with olive oil, garlic, and the local "hot sauce". Side of pita, a pickle, some olives and an onion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually surprised you're not a barbacoa dude. you know me too well, but i'm a little disappointed you missed my reference, though it was pretty obscure. in fact i've never ordered chicken on a burrito from chipotle.

jdeegan Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 :P You think you have problems? At my advanced age almost everything good is bad for you, and almost everything that is not bad for you tastes like dog food. This leaves only sushi, well-seasoned broiled fish, properly done roast chicken, stir-fried veggies with various oriental seasonings, vietnamese pho, most thai curry, cerviche, posole, southern-style greens with cornbread and hot sauce. Damn! I could go on and on, but its nearly lunch time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and a stuffed cabbage. What? I'm gonna live just for cool mountain water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S2000magic Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 At my advanced age almost everything good is bad for you, and almost everything that is not bad for you tastes like dog food.When our younger son was about 5 years old he observed that dogs' taste buds were different from ours because if they were the same, we'd like dog food. . . . posole . . . .There's a restaurant in Yorba Linda, CA that serves wonderful posole. I'm headed home tomorrow and will have to go there for lunch next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 How's the pho where you are? There are some really good pho places in vegas, but obv NYC was the best of the places I've lived. I know, you didn't ask me :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 If I were going out to lunch, it'd be sushi or Thai or Chinese. Seriously. I am rarely awake/hungry for lunch, but whenever I'm ordering sushi/thai/chinese and I see their lunch specials it is amazing to me how cheap it is. Hot and sour soup, an egg roll, fried rice, and sesame chicken for like 6.95 lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyman Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Mmm pho. Moving from MI to NJ greatly improved my access to quality Asian food. There is some good pho as well as ramen, but man do I love Korean food. We're likely getting a place in NYC starting this summer, which is going to be awful for my diet, as K-town is my happy place.
