RainyDay Posted June 29, 2004 Report Posted June 29, 2004 (edited) Today was gyro day. Great sort of roasted-grilled chicken. Yummy yogurt sauce with tomatoes and cucumbers. This place also makes a killer chicken salad the size of my head. And they make this incredible spinach pie--spinach surrounded by pastry in the shape of pastry snail. Greasy in a yummy olive oil sort of way. Man the food is good there. And baklava to die for. You can get various entrees but any one of them will slip you into a coma afterwards it's so much food so I stay away from the entrees. Even so, ready for my nap now.

couw Posted June 29, 2004 Report Posted June 29, 2004 real Gyros has A LOT of garlic in that yummy yoghurt sauce, making it much less than an ideal lunchbreak snack... Quote

I think I'd be ready for a nap too! Quote
RainyDay Posted June 29, 2004 Author Report Posted June 29, 2004 Not much garlic in these guys. I have to meet with a co-worker for the rest of the afternoon so that's a good thing. Quote
jazzbo Posted June 29, 2004 Report Posted June 29, 2004 My favorite lunch is a buffet at the Clay Pit, which is a ten minute walk from my "office" and always a delight! They have killer green salads tossed with their raita-like dressing and another salad that has thickly sliced mushrooms and huge olives. . . they have usually one khorma dish (I love khorma sauce!) and a few other dishes as well, and they use the best rice I've ever had, I found out what it is and bought some to use at home, it's directly from India. They also have the best chai in town! I like to go there in the evenings as well, my wife loves the food there and in the evening we usually order their aloo gobey and another dish, or sometimes just a bowl of lentil soup and their Tandoori Bites, which is a huge appetizer of their "barbequed" chicken . . . . GREAT RESTAURANT! The trick is just to eat just enough and no more. . . . Quote

jazzbo Posted June 29, 2004 Report Posted June 29, 2004 Sometimes through experimentation and randomness I luck out on that! Quote
scottb Posted June 29, 2004 Report Posted June 29, 2004 Today's lunch: Prime rib, stuffed baked potato, roll. (skipped the salad - just empty filler ) Quote
jazzbo Posted June 29, 2004 Report Posted June 29, 2004 Waiter, he gets the check please. . . . B) Quote
catesta Posted June 29, 2004 Report Posted June 29, 2004 A chili dog from a local place called Lenny's. Tomorrow I will be buying tacos and burritos for myself and all of the crews working on one of my palm tree trimming contracts. The City said it couldn't be done , but we broke a record today for the number of trees trimmed in one day (122 in 4 1/2 hours). The deal was lunch on Wednesday and beer on Friday. Quote
Brandon Burke Posted June 29, 2004 Report Posted June 29, 2004 Clay Pit is indeed great and good deal can be had during lunchtime and happy hour (when the apps are really cheap). My go-to, assuming I don't pack a sandwhich (and I make good sandwhiches), is usually either Madam Mam's (Thai) or the sushi across the street. It's been sushi lately because I'm cleaning out the fridge for the move. Very little left to eat at home. Quote
jazzbo Posted June 29, 2004 Report Posted June 29, 2004 I'll have to retry Madam Mam's. . . I wasn't bowled over the first time. As for sushi. . . you can have it all, not one of my foodstuffs! B) Quote
garthsj Posted June 29, 2004 Report Posted June 29, 2004 I had a "date" lunch today at Canyon Cafe .... my meal ... a delicious "southwest" grilled chicken quesadilla with marbelized onions and two kinds of spiced sauces. Of course, their complimentary multi-colored taco chips and green and red salsa was also consumed with enthusiasm .....I also tried a bottle of the peach and ginger flavored iced tea ... The price ... just $8.95 and $2.95 for the tea. Now my penance .... it is oat flakes and blueberries for dinner .... Quote
7/4 Posted June 29, 2004 Report Posted June 29, 2004 (edited) Ah...I love sushi....well, shashmi (no rice, just the fish). Also big on soft shell crabs too. And the saki.... Edited June 29, 2004 by 7/4 Quote
JSngry Posted June 29, 2004 Report Posted June 29, 2004 Booger sammich w/snot mayonaise! Homemade, no less! Quote

As for sushi. . . you can have it all, not one of my foodstuffs! B) I'm quite a fan of any rice curry dish at Mam's as well as the spicy, creamy, coconuty soup they have over there. Needless to say, I can't remember what it's called... Quote
chris olivarez Posted June 30, 2004 Report Posted June 30, 2004 Shrimp Tacos and Frito Pie today-yum!!! Quote
jacknife Posted June 30, 2004 Report Posted June 30, 2004 (edited) Beer, now thats good food! I had to go with Bud Light since I'm on a "low carb" diet The homemade snot boorger with nose flem (green) mayo sounds appetizing also. Edited June 30, 2004 by jacknife Quote
Jazzmoose Posted June 30, 2004 Report Posted June 30, 2004 (edited) Chicken salad sandwich with "pretzel bits" or whatever they're called. You know, the thingies that crunch but don't have fat like potato chips so I can pretend I'm being good while eating the sandwich with the mayo in it. And a diet Coke for added irony... Been trying to get back in the habit of brownbagging it lately. You know, pump more money into the CD budget. Edited June 30, 2004 by Jazzmoose Quote
